I received this note from my friend at Dell Canada.
Since it is so close to the new school year starting, I thought I would send it out so that if a new computer was needed, then you, dear reader, would see some Dell computer products that you might find of interest for your kids. Or maybe even for yourself!

By the way, the prices I have shown you may NOT be the prices today. They change so quickly in the market-place these days. They at least give you an indication of the range of costs the particular PC may be to help you decide which one you might want to look at more closely.
