Because Dell is really dropping in Quality. I've had Dells all my life and noticed this trend. While the CPi-A from four years ago was a cool laptop, my current C610, the C800, and the Inspiron 4000 are pathetic. ACPI is not implemented at all, the things are very loud because APM is not standards-compliant (it works with windoze) only, and the Dell service is pissing me off! It's just apparent that Dell is Windoze-only and doing as much as they can to make it harder and harder for users of other OSs. Plus the fact that I am forced to feel neglected, because even though I own like 11 Dells, I am only a small-scale user and thus unimportant. Also, the laptops break a lot. That never happened to me with IBMs. -- Please do not CC me!
