I figured they'd get out of the computer business and focus on the Plasma/LCD TVs. There goes that theory.

I have one. I have bought them for a few family members and I have referred them to about 8-10 coworkers that have bought one or more in the last two years. None of them have had any problems. The funny thing is that the coworkers that did not listen to me and bought Dells have almost all had a problem. It seems the e-machines made in the last few years are of excellent quality, but they are still paying the price for some poor products and customer service in their early days.

That is the impression I have as well.
