Follow-up.
Dell customer-support makes a save.  Their support was actually able to
make a command decision involving a corporate account -money- and save
their sales dept's innocent mistake.  I put the offer on the table to
salvage relations.  5 minute resolution to the little things that can
make or break a company.

Dell passed muster.

(Resolution required IT dept. intercept.  Resolution in under 5 minutes
is not bad.  They need to update their auto-phone directory.  Failed in
the replacement parts category.)
