You obviously have better experience than I do. My Inspiron 6000 was apparently used: it arrived without the usual plastic coating on the lid, with scratches which couldn't have come from transport instead. Also the ejector for the PC Card fell apart shortly after I got it. It took them over 3 weeks to get a replacement lid to me, by which time I had left for Europe. By the time I get home I will have had the machine for 6 weeks, too long to return it, and only then will I be able to fight the Dell service department about the ejector. Only some time after then will they be able to replace the lid. Greg -- See complete headers for address and phone numbers
