You'll have to be a bit more specific than 'repair crap' for me to give you any advice about that!

That delivery time's pretty good for the US, though IIRC newegg have a depot in california? So it's only within state. Typically, orders in the UK arrive within about 18 hours, but that's a much smaller country! My record is 11 hours, from ordering at 10pm and getting the delivery at 9am. Few sites will do that though!

Sam,

I'm talking about whatever it is that decides that you need a repair. I mean, why should I need a repair? The computer works perfectly with XP-Pro. The second time I had 7 on my computer it was in dual boot, done by M$'s own tutorial, and software. When 7 gave me the repair deal I just switched to XP all the time, by selecting it in the boot manager. After about two months, I didn't catch the boot manager in time and lo and behold, Win7 was working again. How can that be, unless Micro$oft was doing something to my Win7 without my knowledge. It lasted about a month and then told me that I needed to run the repair program, which so far has a .000 Batting average with me at fixing anything. I wasted a couple of hours, for it to tell me it couldn't fix the problem, like it always does. Maybe that's why my customer told me to keep it when he found out the cost of a new screen, and the parts he broke dropping on the screen end with it open. Problem with it is it will run XP, but you can only find about half of the drivers needed. I have a DVD that Will gave me with over 800,000 drivers, and I've yet to find anything that will work. This is one of those that you supposedly couldn't convert to XP. The did outlaw them and they no longer make them, but The manufacturer was required to only make future ones work. Everyone else got screwed! The only way laws get Grandfathered in is if there's some money involved that usually winds up in the politicians pockets!

Best Regards,
Russ
