I’m quiet because my computers are all tied up running models. You can’t do a lot else when one program is hogging 95%+ of the processor capacity. I wish I had the new desktop, but it is still dead. The engineer came yesterday and replaced the motherboard, but when he turned the machine on he asked, “why did they send a new motherboard, the power supply is dead?” To which we could only reply that we’d spent half an hour on the phone to Dell tech support answering their questions and they said it was a motherboard problem.

Of course the engineer doesn’t carry spare parts. Dell change their parts suppliers more frequently than they change their underwear, so there’s no point in shipping a stock of spares to engineers. So the new power supply is in the mail. And maybe it will get fitted early next week. If it doesn’t the machine is going back to Dell under their 100% satisfaction guarantee. If I can get my money back, I can go buy an HP. I certainly can’t afford to be without the machine.
