Hi,

FWIW, a friend of mine worked for Dell (in the customer support
service) to optimize there processes. We've talked about a few
times...

Dell works this way. The thing they are best at is fixing computer
hardware (I would like, as a professional, to get this kind of service
when I open a case at sun's CS with my golden whatsoever contract
number)

What's dell's secret to sell cheap computers ? They are so good (and
efficient in their processes) at fixing poor quality hardware that
it's more interesting for then to just replace 5 times the same
components than to build a computer with good quality ones. It makes
the computer cheaper, and as Sampo said, when there's a problem, it's
fixed fast. So it's just transparent to the user.
