    Is %35 off Inspiron 6000 HOT or WARM?

    There's a coupon right now for %35 off $1399 or more on the new Inspiron 6000. I'm not in a hurry to get a laptop - sometime this year is OK. Should I jump on this or hold out for a better deal? Can it get any better than %35? Thanks.

    Can I 'unactivate' Frontpage 2003 and sell it to someone else?

    I made the mistake of buying a copy of MS Frontpage 2003 for some web page editing. I installed it and activated it via the internet.
