    So every time I need to check specs, pull up some drivers or manuals, I am afraid that their servers will be down.

    Like exactly this minute. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    No wonder. GET IT TOGETHER MICHAEL.

    If you frequently access the site outside of business hours, you might encounter more issues. It's not just Dell though, as many major sites schedule routine maintenance off-hours (and you need to account for time differences).

    If you're on the west coast, it's even worse, as midnight EST is evening PST, when we're back from work and done with dinner...

    Gives people "confidence" on their IT reliability. Especially since Dell is struggling to diversify business away from hardware manufacturing.
