Dude, you’re waiting tables. That seems like the ultimate payback for the man that was once the face of Dell’s advertising campaign and later busted for buying marijuana.

I know that the Dell Dude, aka Ben Curtis, didn’t make the lousy Dell machine that burned out on me and now serves as a high-priced paperweight a mere two years after I bought it. And I know that he didn’t allow the screen to go through despite the profusion of dead pixels. And I know that he wasn’t responsible for the “customer service” that gave my dad the run around for days when he was looking for the monitor cable the company failed to send.

I know these things, but I still enjoy the Schadenfreude of seeing Dell’s star wain and dim. It’s bad, I know. I would never wish ill on a person, or even a company that had mistreated me and my family, abused us with empty promises and poor-quality products.

But there’s no way I’m getting a Dell again. Forget it. HP, Lenovo, Sony, Apple–don’t care. Just no more Dell.

(Sorry to go off-topic with this post, but what’s the point of having a blog if you can’t go on a rant from time to time?)
