I'm a pit bull

In the contest of Me vs Dell Computers, I am decisively in the lead. Alex says I'm a pit bull when I get my mind set on something. I tried to order a new system for Alex (his died on Tuesday, there will be no services) on their website yesterday, after canceling the first one we ordered because we could save 4% with his Employee Purchase Plan. But, the financing wasn't returned in time. Today, when I can finally submit my order, the 35% off is no longer valid. Now, don't you think that because Dell Financing didn't do their job, I shouldn't have to suffer? I don't think so either.

And now I have a story that tops the Cell Phone fiasco of 2004.

Yep, it pays to have a Taurus in the family. I shall declare victory when the laptop arrives at my doorstep. I think a party may even be in order. (Let's call it the Quad.)
