Mucky writing

could you go through what you have written and tidy it up please - clear up the poor english grammar and make it straight forward to read. It reads as if you garbled this down a phone line to a speech-to-text PC at the other end. I have read it several times and it contradicts itself over and over.

Interesting comments - not sure fully justified. Head to head the poweredge servers we have had have p*ssed all over the HP (compaq) proliants that a consultant twisted my arm in installing (they were epically awful - every component, + motherboard, was replaced in both boxes in the first 12 months).

WRT to Laptops: we have run Dell, HP, Toshiba and Sony in various forms over past 10 years and all have had their moment but Dell have generally been the ones to last longest / easiest to fix. Batteries were Sony fault.

Was all crap and will stil take may years / decades to come to fruition. I have my hat ready to eat ...
