And you know what's ironic? The Dell lappies, particularly the low-end 
Inspirons, SUCK. They might be made in Round Rock, TX still (I wouldn't lay 
money on that, though) but they are flimsy and easily breakable. Every single 
Inspiron lappie that is being used at my University has one thing or another 
wrong with it. Loose ports, broken ports, card cages that are dead, audio 
circuitry that has gone to its Eternal Reward, etc.

Now if they had gone with R-series ThinkPads instead, they could have had 
something that could take all the abuse that professors, students and library 
staff could heap on them. But would they spend the weensiest extra money on 
those rather than the cheap-ass Dells? Nope. So giving a presentation is a 
freaking nightmare.

I HATE Dell.
Hate, hate, hate.
