" I guess you could boycott Dell, but I happen to like inexpensive computers"

I guess you could make a case for this but only if you ignore the total cost of shipping jobs out of the country. Pay me now or pay me (via taxes) later.

I have seen many companies go down the tubes because they focused on price and not costs. They are very different things.

And if Dell is losing money because of poor or costly tech support, then they deserve to go down the tubes. I'm not going to lose any sleep on Dell's account. As a consumer I purchase the most product for my money. Doing anything else encourages and artificially supports companies that don't want to compete in the real market.
