Shouldn't have gotten a Dell, Dude. When you buy a computer with a pre-installed operationg system, you're geting a crippled OS. You probably don't get a full Windows CD, and you get it installed in such a way that it only wants to support the manufacturer's hardware.

Anyone who can spare a couple of extra bucks should get their machine custom built locally by someone who's been doing it for a while, and someone who can help with glitches.

Yeah, the worst part of the story is that my brother owns a computer store, and has been custom building them for years. He was busy and I did not want to bother him!

I'm an @ssh@le. I stand publicly revealed.
