Glad to be back. Its going to take me three to six months to dig out of 
the hole I've slipped into over the last year, but Im looking forward 
to not having to dig upwards.

I agree with all those point. Actually they're pretty much the only BIG 
pc maker left who I'd touch with a ten foot pole at the moment. I'd 
never buy one for my personal use but for a business they're great 
machines, and some of their mid range and high end servers actually 
kick ass
