Thanks Guys and Gals 8-) Did I get a good deal?? I didn't want a really cheap one or a really expensive one. I think I got some good features. OMG the funny thing is. On the site it says no accidental damage coverage in Florida is available. Guess maybe because of the Hurricanes. They gave me a good deal on at home support for two years. Thanks again.

Congrats. So does this mean that I will not be the only one who hooks their computer up to the generator during a hurricane? :lol: Oh yes I did that!

Unrelated nerdy side note: Is your computer a laptop? if not, you'll want to make sure to put a battery backup between the computer and generator. Most generators put out very unstable power, which is bad for computer power supplies. A battery (in all laptops, and in battery backups) will absorb the power "peaks" and fill in the power "valleys".

Dude, you're getting a Dell!!!

But didn't we already congratulate you a couple of years ago on getting a Dell? I'm doubly jealous if I'm remembering correctly.

I'm finally shopping around to get a new computer (remember - I still have Win98 :P ). I kinda like the LightScribe DVD labeler that the HP's at Best Buy have, but other than that, it's too expensive. So, I'm pretty much settled on some type of Dell desktop...and a black Sharpie. :)
