Well I DID tell them that I work for AT&T Labs and the project I'm on 
currently runs on hpux boxes AND they are being migrated to PCs AND 
Netscape is the required browser for these services.  I also told them 
I'd be sure to notify the proper folks who are making the purchasing 
decisions that they will not be supported by Dell if they are using 
Netscape browsers...
