I feel sorry for the person who had the problem with PB. However, may I suggest that when ANYONE buys a computer for business (it has to be up all the time or money is lost) use the individual do some real home work to find out the realibility of the machine. In the most recent issue of PC Magazine realibiliby surveys were taken and the best machines were documented. The most reliable = HP. (I have zip to do with HP so cool the flames) The best way to look at this situation is this.... Yes we all like to save money but, BUT, if you spend a grand or two more on a machine are you going to notice that grand or two a few years later after a correspondingly long period of successful business activity? NO, NO ,NO. The moral is this, don't buy for today, buy for tomorrow and AMORTIZE. Again, I am sorry to hear about the PB experience, but you get what you pay for. Better luck next time.
