So far the electronics division has won because it is impossible it get your computer back to a previous state. I suddenly miss those rootkits...at least you have the ablity to reuse your computer once you reformat. Just Kidding about the rootkits.

And he sent hundreds of pictures to <a href="http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2006/08/dell_batteries_history.html" rel="nofollow">Consumeraffairs.com</a>, although none were posted when I wrote it.
