This type of financing is pretty common, isn’t it? You gotta pay at the end of the “interest free” period, or you lose, and you have to back all the back interest.

I’ve always hated these deals, but I know some who use them all the time to good effect. Not sure why they’re picking on Dell.

My Dell (2004-2006)

Without going through the trouble of having to read the actual opinion (which tend to be endless in apellate cases like this), it’s pretty easy for a trial lawyer to go after the evil corporation in Texas in front of a NY jury. It would be like suing Bush at the DNC convention and worrying about getting an impartial jury.

Bought our Dell in 2002. Dell Dumension 8200. At that time it cost $1,695. Three months after we bought it the hard drive died. They did not believe me and we fought till they replaced the hard drive. Then the monitor died. They replaced it. Then the CDROM died. They replaced that. Then the monitor died again. They replaced it. Then the monitor died again and I just bought one from a dealer. Other than that, no problems.

I will NEVER buy another Dell.

The court will hold further hearings to determine restitution to consumers and the amount of profits Dell unlawfully earned that will be forfeited to the state.

My first thought is that no "profits Dell unlawfully earned" should be "forfeited to the state," but returned to those from whom those profits were illegally taken.

That which Dell calls Technical Support is a fraud. A heavily-accented Indian reading from a script isn’t my idea of support.
