open...: Dell Fails to Deliver

I haven’t looked at this deal, but then, the Vista machines had more memory and nVidia by default, even with the discount!
That lead me to weigh up the guilt of ordering a Vista laptop and replacing it with Ubuntu. I decided to just find another laptop.; 1:25 pm

I'm scratching my head wondering why.; 2:49 pm
