Maybe Reggie can get a worthwhile job at Underwriters' Labs, either
sitting in a tubful of water while electrical appliances are pushed into
it, or as, even better, a crash test dummy.


His MO is to try to discredit things I post. I mentioned I purchased a Dell
laptop running VISTA and from what I have seen here he has tried to throw as
many negative comments about that decision as he can.

This is just another of his attempts. Too bad the model I purchased was not
mentioned in the report.

The guy needs to Google up a life as he obviously does not have one except
for the time he spends on his grounded houseboat on Lake Lanier.
