Toshiba is not going to last long either if they start doing the same thing. Makes you wonder if your computer is really brand new sometimes.

"just starting" i guess is dependant on your perspective of the start and finish of what we're discussing. the net is extremely young compared to other methods of commerce. it is just beginning. in 15 years where is this whole hijacking, cookie overwriting, traffic redirecting, affil id changing, adware, spyware, malware, ransomware and much more crap gonna be? fighting fires in the heat of the moment i.e. zango at this time can really have you think short term and in the "now". web commerce is a baby still.

i guess thats where i am trying to come from. i am knowledgeable about what you pointed out. thats why i didn't buy a dell.

i bought the toshiba because i had another satellite for 5 years and it was awesome. fool me once i guess applies here.
