I'm very happy with my Dell servers and my three next day onsite support.
Better that f&^%ing Compaq! Although our local Compaq dealership are very

as their sales people are useless!! When I bought my first server about five
years ago, the tech sales person was very good--now they just seem to read
from the web site!!
