Yup folks, you heard right. I'm going Dell. There's a brown box in the corner of my office about to be opened for my new computing platform. Here's to (hopefully) super-reliable computing going forward, and thus higher productivity. Onwards and upwards!
P.S. Please don't tell Eric. Shhhh! I'll never hear the end of it.

The thing I've been most impressed with Dell is there support. I have a laptop from them that had several problems with the keyboard. Each time I called, they had someone on location to fix it in less than 24 hours. On location was sometimes my house, sometimes work, and once a hotel room when I was traveling.
This was the biggest thing I missed when I switched to a Powerbook. I feel like I have to have two machines in order to have a backup if something goes down.
Even with that shortcoming I feel like I'm a whole lot more effective on OS X than Windows or Linux, so I'll put up with the inconvenience of two laptops.
Good luck with your Dell. :)
