What does your broken buzzer have to do with Dell? I bet if HP shipped the product, the buzzer wouldn't have worked either. Maybe if Toshiba shipped it... no, the buzzer still wouldn't have worked. And what delivery company tells their employees to call the recipient? A courier maybe, but not a package delivery.
Your BMW analogy is wrong. You got something better, but without backwards compatibility. To fit the analogy, you wanted manual wind-down windows because you have a crank handle you like. The BMW came with power windows, and now you're upset because you can't use the handle.
Many systems no longer have IDE. You mentioned the Mac (as having firewire)... Mac is SATA as well, so you'd have to get an external solution no matter what you did. Next time read the specs like the rest of us.
As for the service tag... did you miss the screen that appears when you first power on the machine that tells you the service tag and tells you to write it down? Nice and BIG so anyone can see it.
Sheesh. I guess no matter how well you build a system, people are still going to complain. Why not go buy a Sony now and complain about that so we can get it out of the way?

Can't believe I wasted time reading this dribble
