Dell is almost 3 different companies, depending on whether you are
a small business or individual or a large organization, buying servers
or desktops, etc.
We have a bunch of Dell Optiplex P-III machines that won't die. Recently
purchased Dells (Optiplex GX-260 -- GX-270) were delivered with parts
missing, and have failed early and often. Getting replacement parts
has been a struggle (wrong parts shipped, paperwork messed up, etc.).
I read that some large companies are now asking for 4-year warranties
because some many systems fail at 3 years + epsilon.
