Things are never easy...and if it was...what fun would that be!

I am a full time engineer and a part time: henna artist, painter, calligraphier, book binder, yogi, movie buff, reader, drummer, jewelry maker, snowboarder, volunteer, mentor, and enabler...and one day maybe a part time/full time writer (I've got some ideas and I'll either write a kick ass AD&D module or a novel...we'll see!) In the SCA, I am a scribe of the East Kingdom and have been doing scrolls since 2002. I love all styles and time periods, especially 14th-15th c Italian, Flemish, and German. I also enjoy bookbinding, viking wire knitting, some embroidery and well...I like to dabble in different areas.

May I suggest that before you jump into using it, that you (a) take a complete image of the hard drive; (b) nuke all junk that Dell slathers on; and (c) take an image of the system as you like it. That will go a long way to helping when you'd "like to rewind the clock and go back to when you took it out of the box". imho fwiw ymmv
Thanks John...I'll have to do that. I have an image of my last computer from 1 month ago...but all the school stuff from this past month go lost! My dad suggested also backing it up daily (automatically).
Thanks for the suggestion.
Not to be a pest about it, BUT, (after having lost about 7 months of work where my employer's IT staff was doing backup but wasn't and I took the loss!), I am a zealot about it. Maybe I'll blog about "suggestions"? I currently used a partition utility to carve out a "data drive" where I keep all my files. I back that up nightly automagically. Even for someone on a low budget, there are free uilities like Karen's replicator and free services like Mozy and others that will work for you. The trick is not to strew data files around like flower petals. Each software package defaults you into that problem.
