    Dell 2005FPW - Deal DEAD

    I think you should be able to replace 3+ monitors even if you only have 21 days as you will receive the replacement monitor within 2-3 business day (at least in my case).

    Excellent signal strength but very very slow internet connection ??

    Will the microwave and phone really affect that much if they are not active? The microwave is 5 feet away and the 900MHz phone is 3 feet away. I will try to move the computer farther away and see if that helps. (I do occasionally experience fast connection though every once in a while) momento
