Sure be happy to!! (give me a few weeks) Anyone care to comment on getting the remote to work? I would assume that the one that shipped with Windows media center will not work, or maybe I can reconfigure it to work? Anyone out there with experience on this matter? Thanks for all the great feedback regarding this matter, I am so ready to return home and remove XP from my machine!!! (kicking myself for spending the money on XP when I bought the Dell, at least I knew better than to get the MS Office upgrade, anyone know if M$ gives refunds if you remove their software and send the disks back? 8^) JP
