You really think some CEO is going to close up a major corporation with thousands of stockholders just because business is good? Think about it. Just what do you think the stockholders would do? What impact would this have on the stock market in general when tech stocks make up a major share of the market. The head of Dell couldn't close the company if he wanted to. I am sure there is a board that controls any decisions made.

I'm sorry guys but this story is retarded.

I was just on the phone with them today because the hard drive they sent me to replace a bad hard drive goes 'clunk-clunk-clunk' when you turn it on. Yes, I ran the diagnostics. Yes, every hard drive test failed. Can you say 'Refurbished'?

I read that Dell recycles parts. If they get one back or something, they strip the machine and use the parts over. That was something I heard four or five years ago. I don't know if they still do it.

It would make sense.

Flavio, are you sure about your facts? the Drudge report says they are the most trusted news in the business;)...and that the Onion is bogus. :eh:

dimme ~ I didn't know we had those delicious sloppy sandwiches here in The Netherlands. I guess you only get the change to eat them while you're in court :D

They have a big yellow sticker on the outside of the boxes that they send out with 'replacement' parts that says something to the effect of "The items in this box may be refurbished". I read something in PC Magazine a while back about how the computer companies are cutting costs by automating thereby cutting jobs, or using refurbished parts, or having auto-responses to support requests by emails with standard solutions... I guess this is Dell's way of keeping costs down.

and on the other hand they are selling their refurbished parts on their webpage, $130 for a P3 motherboard, refurbished.

And no doubt that they are making BIG bucks on this http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/...=search.asp&icompatid=&instock=0&refurbished=

Not to mention that the prices on DELL puters are pretty darn reasonable and I wish I could afford a new one/Laptop if you know what I mean. BD
