glutton for punishment (or just a cheap whore?)

Considering how much I've bitched about Dell in the past, you'd think that I would never purchase another Dell product as long as I live. The problem is, my desire to optimize my monetary expenditures kind of overrides my desire not to deal with "Dan" in Delhi.

Check it out: Dell has a promotion going on right now where you can get $750 off of an Inspiron 9300 (that's the beastly desktop replacement with a 17-inch screen). It's a gorilla of a machine (both power- and size-wise), and it can be had for about $1400. Compare that to $2600 for an IBM in a not-really-comparable configuration, and you see the problem.

When it gets here I'll let you know how I like it.

BTW, what should it be called? wahboid-monstrosity, perhaps?

Excellent choice. I'm thinking of getting a Mac Mini, in which case I might just name it pearl-onion...

Maybe you could resurrect baloney-manifold.. or even salami-transducer.
