Re: Dell rejects spyware charge

But the local shops have pretty much been run out of business by the likes of Dell and HP.

Here in San Francisco Bay Area, there are still a few surviving independent clone dealers, but not nearly as many as there used to be. In their heyday, there were many small shops and huge Computer shows where you could sample from many independent dealers offering deep discounts. That business is just a shadow of its former self now.

I prefer to deal with local businesses, but the people who built my main machine a few years ago went out of business last year. Recently, another dealer I've used in the past could not come close to matching the price on a comparably equipped Dell on a new desktop for my kids. The difference was more than $150 after Dell applied a 20% discount and free shipping.

I bought the Dell and so far it has been great.

 I can count 4-5 shops (one with 2 stores so the # could be 6) that build PC's for personal and business and this is a pretty small market in the US - about the 5th largest in Ohio.
