[dba-Tech] Desktop recommendation

OK fair enough. Personal experience. I have never personally had a bad
experience with support staff of any hardware company. Dell support couldn't
seem to help me much with my server's shared modem back in 1999 but I really
didn't push them. I gave up on them and figured it out myself. I have had
plenty of bad experience with software support and with service company
support such as tel/com companies (these are the worse!).

I know of a few second hand instances where support from name brand
companies has been poor. Probably the worst was Dell with a Home Office
problem but that is second hand and could have been the person's lack of
technical skills. (Although I always thought that is why a non-techy running
a SOHO business should buy their extended in home support - which he did.)

All-in-all I see the top dogs as fairly comparable. But then I'm not much of
a "brand name" person.

sorry gustav, but you lost credibility w/ me when you mentioned HP :D.
 IBM is a great company, and reliable as hell when you mention
servers, but I'm very biased against HP quality and support
