Thanks to Dell

In mid-June 2008 we had a flood in our offices when water came through the ceiling and damaged our main computer. We thought we had lost all our data when the PC would not boot-up. But Dell offered to repair the PC for free - even though it was out of warranty - and all the data was there when the machine revived. Many thanks to Dell!!
