Oh, Whitey ...

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, and it seems really unstable.

I've just installed a new internal hard drive, cos it crashed on Sunday.

I wouldn't buy another Dell.

insert the disk & switch on. Pc should read & re-set

jayne, tell me about it!! shudda got mac instead :( i think its Vista conflicting with the hardware.

[tamborine]

Mine's a Inspiron lappy; 3y perfik :)

[tamborine]

I did buy extra HD...200Gb = £20

[joggerjayne]

I know, Whitey.

Trouble is, I run 4 lappys for work.

I don't know if a Mac is compatible.

I replace them from time to time, but I wouldn't want to start from scratch and replace them all at once with Macs.

I was calling Dell all the names under the Sun on Sunday night !!!

[tamborine]

I dont get on with Macs.....not enough software variety.
