Larger or Faster Hard Drive by
journey
Sometime around March after Vista is out, I am going to get a XPS
M1210. I want a laptop that boots up fast and opens applications
fast.
I see now that they have a 160gb 5400rpm hard drive, and a 100gb

Refurbished/Scratch-and-Dent by
[email protected]
Has anyone had any good or bad experiences with refurbished Dells? I

good.
Also, when is the best time to buy a refurbished Dell? My guess is that
Christmas returns mean a lot of used desktops to choose from. Should I

Ghost 2003/Acronis True Image by
Leanin' Cedar
Dimension 4300 (I know-time to upgrade);
I have used Ghost for image and it has saved my bacon a couple of times,
plus when I added a larger HDD, it was a snap to restore the OS etc, and
auto-expand the four partitions. A pain in the butt to shutdown and run from

My dad "says" he deleted OE 6. If indeed he did manage to do that, can
I just download OE 6? I briefly looked on the MS site and didn't see a
way to do so. I don't want him upgrading to IE 7. He's not using IE
anymore anyway. I'm on my way over there and hoping to have some
