Op, I ordered a Dell computer a couple of years ago. Price was very
reasonable, but when they confirmed my order and told me the shipping cost
my eyes popped. I forget exactly what it was, but the shipping cost was
VERY
high. And it's not as if I live in outer Slobovia, or they had to hire
Sherpas to deliver it. I had some experience with similar things, having
bought a computer from Gateway a year or two earlier. I cancelled the
order
as soon as I received their fax confirming the details and haven't ordered
from Dell since.

**** Bob, I only wish it were the shippin' costs. By the time I finished
adding the features that 'tripper suggested and got off the phone with the
sales woman--"checkout" wouldn't work on the web site (could this be a
design feature?)--I had been talked into a 4 year in home warranty. Final
tally was over $2500.

Op --there goes my tax refund and more next year!--
