My new computer came today, and it's totally awesome. If I'd felt better (I'm feeling under the weather), I'd have actually done more with it. As it is, I did the initial setup stuff, installed updates, and got it connected to my network so I play around with it.
It's really fast, and I love the display. I got the super-wide display option, so I can see a lot at one time even though it's only a 15-inch screen. The colors and resolution are really nice.
Anyway, I'll probably end up rebuilding this machine from scratch, by installing Vista Ultimate and Office Ultimate (since it only came w/ Vista Home Premium and MS Works). That way it will get rid of all of the factory-installed crap that I don't want or need, and will allow me to configure everything the way that I want it. And, I'll get all of my files that I want on this machine copied over from my external drive. So, I have a little work ahead of me, but it will be worth it. Once all of that is done, I'll rebuild my old machine for work. Everything in due time.

Yeah, I nuked all the Dell crap off my laptop when I got it too. Reformatted the hard drive as well.
Has Dell called you yet about upgrading your warranty? If not, expect a call...
Nope, haven't heard from them yet. I hate sales calls...
