What is next I say? Limitless storage maybe? I mean with only 1 percent of users actually using 1 GB why not? Also, with sharing, social networking on the rise, RSS feeds and blogging, I think the next logical step is shared GMail accounts. You get a RSS feed from your account as it is, but what if you wanted to share your emails with people using the RSS feed? I mentioned this in a thread about DX3 that Frogboy started. I was thinking could DesktopX allow people to view ONLY the emails...

So i one...

Who here has been a victom of bad Dell support? Just wondering because I read a CNET blog report on it about the India workers complaining about the job. (and how it sucks butt) I have never really used Dell support for anything really. The only thing I noticed was that they gave my sister a 128 RAM instead of 256RAM (but I didn't notice until it was too late (it was a free upgrade deal)) Anyone having, or had issues with Dell?
