RE: [ukha_d] Dell £99 server offer on again until tomorrow

["Paul Gordon" <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I should say so! - I recently gave serious thought to ordering one of
the n=
ew Vostro laptops, - widely advertised in the press as being "from
=A3249" =
for the base model. Sure enough, if you go through the online build and
ord=
er process, by removing the support option, you *can* get to a build at
tha=
t price... but when you get to the last screen, they add =A360 (YES,
=A360!=
) for delivery!! - doesn't matter where in the country you are, how long
yo=
u're happy to wait, you can't get this delivery charge any lower. Needless
=
to say, I muttered something along the lines of "you must think I'm
f***ing=
stupid" and hit the cancel button at that point...
