During WWII, an RAF pilot was shot down over England, and landed in a farmer's field. The farmer ran up to the pilot and the pilot asked the farmer where he was.
The farmer replied: "you are standing in the middle of a recently plowed field, 400 yards from a tree line, with a stream running behind it, on a clear day, and mild temperatures."
The pilot responded: "Thank you. You must be an accountant."
The farmer said: "Why yes I am. Why do you ask?"
The pilot responded: "You just gave me some very detailed, accurate, well explained....useless information".
Please do not take offense to the joke. I am just computer challenged, and only somewhat understand what was said. And thanks once again.
Then there was this balloonist who got lost in the Northweast and found himself next to a skyscraper. He asked a guy inside where he was, and was told "you are in a ballon 65 stories above ground level".
The ballonoist replied - Ah, now I know where I am. You just gave me some detailed, accurate and useless information - so this must be Microsoft Tech Service.
LOL! Too funny M.V.
Sylviatob and MV, LOL, really.
I was at a seminar this past summer where we did an exercise to see what kind of animal we are like (in a business way). There were 4: golden retriever - loyalty, lion - dominance, otter - outgoing and compassionate and beaver - data nut who might even hold back projects for useless information. j/k
Guess which animal I leaned most towards?
Really, when it comes down to personal computing, no one size fits all. The basics would be to purchase a good brand from a reputable dealer. Good manufacturer service and support and that the machine meets your software needs.

Thanks Penguin, and everyone.
Well, I went and did it. Bought the Dell, put it on my cc. It was by FAR the largest single cc purchase I've ever made.
They sure better like what I got 'em!

Well, I did break down and app'd Thursday night for a new GapCard, then stayed up and shopped at gap.com and oldnavy.com. Shopped for roughly $225 total before I fell asleep.
As of today, I haven't seen any inquiry from Gap/GEMB.
This is interesting...as of today, 5 days later (or ~3 biz days):
ScoreWatch and TrueCredit report my new GapCard TL, but no signs of an inquiry. I do see an inquiry from August for PayPal/GEMB. So either they soft pulled and I can't see/find it or they're using my August inquiry?
Ack, this is making me curious enough to consider app'ing for another GEMB card.
