Hardware - October 2006

1- What is the best DVD±RW brand recommended, that burns anything safely and fast, and has a dual layer writing ability? And play copy DVDs & scratched DVD's (A DVD/RW that has a good optical)

2- How can I make the DVD±RW Multi regional from the beginning without affecting the system and the DVD-RW?

3- What is the best speed to select to burn good quality with no errors on the CD or DVD, (Max speed, Min speed or in between)?

Confused and want to buy one ASAP :) thanks for coming and helping out :)

What's wrong with Dell?

I think they suck but I buy there computers.

I guess some people think Dell is a company where they want your money well to tell the truth they do. But also Dell is a huge company and I mean huge, think about it Dell produces on average 14 computers a minute, that a lot of computers in one day. Big companies make mistakes, some larger then other some smaller then others. But for the people who think Dells service sucks it does, believe me. The reason why Dell is so un-organized, its two words out-sourcing, thats what causes the problem the language barrier and outsourcing. I like Dells products, but I feel sorry for an individual who has troubles with there computer and are forced to wait countless hours for even a simple reply or guess what? to be transferred to a different department. The reason why Dell sucks its because Dell makes Dell suck. I used to work as a Manager in Sales for Dell and believe me I know for fact that is customer relations.

Where's it gone? It should be shift + 3 on my keyboard, but when I try this all I get is the # sign. Some of the other buttons are the wrong way round - the @ and " for example. But the pound sign isn't anywhere! Why is this and what can I do about it?
