Great DELL Support

[Gene E. Bloch]

That's exactly the way I've written addresses for more than a decade.
Two posts last week -- one from Agent (apparently came out as "multi".
Another from OE (apparently came out "cross". I did nothing differently
in posting the two.
But, I'll let you guys worry about it. Or, jsut ignore me!!

You're on the "ignore me" kick in a big way, I see.

Incontrovertible evidence has already been presented in one thread
(which I have lost track of) that in at least one instance, you *very
clearly* multi-posted.

It's useless to tell him that. Regardless of how many of us have
explained the difference to him, or how many times we've done it, he
still works very hard at not understanding the difference between
cross-posting and multi-posting. Typical behavior of a troll.

Here's another example. Three separate messages with the same content,
posted to separate groups several minutes apart, all with different
message IDs.

Is this Valorie with a gender change? Or is it a brand new trainwreck?

I've been told that at least half a dozen times --- I'm not questioning
it. As I keep saying over and over -- will someone tell me how to
post differently . I have for nearly two decades (using Free Agent)
I have posted exactly the same way --- In the "newsgroups" line I
list the groups as a comma-separated list, write the post and click send.
That has apparently been producing "multi" postings or so I'm told --
over and over again --.
This past week, I used OE for a posting --- listed the groups in exactly
the same way and it, I'm told, came out as a "cross" posting. I did
nothing differently. So why don't you explain the "correct" process
to me!

What you do IS the correct process. No idea why you have problems with
Agent, others don't seem to.

Off topic --- I know ---

I read in one of these groups that, upon request, DELL
would send a new-computer owner a "recover and
restore" flash drive --- just to have in case of later need.
So I got live support in India or wherever. I asked
for the recovery thing and a guy with very pooor English
said he's send me one. No reasons were asked for.
Late the next afternoon, he called me at home! He asked
if I had the drive yet --I didn't --but he said it would be
to me by 6 p.m. It was! By FedEx overnight!
But alas it was 32bit so I called again and another tech
said she'd send the correct 64 bit material.
The next day the first guy called me again at home!
He apologized for sending the wrong one before and again
told me the new one would arrive by 6 p.m. It did --
again by overnight FedEx.
How's that for technical support!.

Dell may have good tech support, but you'll pay for it if you have to
buy replacement parts. They have parts that are specific to that
computer and only Dell makes and sells them. Just a simple CPU fan for
one of their computers, which was made around 2008, cost close to $100
with shipping. The motherboard controls that fan, and the mounting is
not just some screws. You're forced to buy their own fan. Luckily I
was able to find a working used one on Ebay for around $25. For that
reason, I avoid Dell!

They used to sell gimped hardware.
My last Dell was an XPS 600, gimped MB(nForce4x16), gimped SB X Music.
Gimped means lack of functionality from the exact same retail component.

They may have improved since then, but $2600 for a "gimped" PC will have
one building their own in no time.

And, a guy from India named Joe that speaks broken Inglish and has you
checking if it's plugged in gets old.

And, Like You Said ... component lock in was prevelent.

What you do IS the correct process. No idea why you have problems with
Agent, others don't seem to.

At least, what he *says* he does is the correct process.

If that is what he's doing, then I agree with you, but we have no real
proof or (mostly) any disproof of that.

There's no need to repost the same information that has been posted a
few times and that you have described as your method.

But from this vantage point I find it hard to know what you are really
doing.

One thought, though. Reinstall your newsreader - or did you try that
already? The length of this thread exceeds my buffering capacity.

I believe that's true for just about every brand name laptop or
portable PC. Not just Dell. They all use custom, non-standard parts.
