And, yes, their lovely tech support. In India. “Is computer plugged in?”

Actually, I can’t fault them for that. I can’t tell you how many computer problems I’ve solved because no one thought to check the power.

Speaking of Dells: at some point, my Dad is going to need a new PC to replace his 8-year-old Pentium Dell running XP with 512MB RAM (yes, you read that right.)

I was just going to have him get a Dell, partly because they still sell some with Win 7 installed. Getting a Mac (which would make my life easier) isn’t an option.

If Dell is really going down the shitter, what kind of PC do the Lizardim Technorati suggest? I’d like to get one that will come with Win 7. Win 8 is just going to confuse the hell out of him; I’m not confident that Win7 isn’t going to be a problem.
