My sister’s Dell notebook began to mysteriously freeze over the past week.  It completely died this weekend; the cause of death apparently being a faulty motherboard.  This is the second time a Dell system has failed on her because of defective hardware.  I have no doubt that Dell has its fair share of satisfied customers, but my sister’s experiences deepen my own resolve to never purchase another prebuilt Windows system.  Take note, Apple; my sister will likely be a customer of yours in the not-too-distant future.  In fact, if it’s not too much trouble, can you please just send her a Macbook<\/A> so she’ll stop bugging me for a loan? <\/DIV>
