Interesting Dell Option

Advanced Configurations:
Hide Microsoft Outlook Express [$2]
Remove Microsoft Games [$2]
Hide Microsoft Legacy Communications [$2]
Enable Wake-on-LAN [$10]
Enable Auto-On [$10]
Boot to Hard Disk Drive [$10]

Does the last one seem odd to you? I wonder what it boots to if you don't pick that option. Mad

Probably changing the boot sequence.
3.5 Floppy
Optical
Hard Drive

With option:
Hard Drive
3.5 Floppy
Optical

Only a guess though...

I wish I had the balls to charge people $10 to change one bios option. Rolling Eyes

Most likely people that buy pre-built machines like this, don't even know WTF a bios is....let alone have the skill to change options, or know what they want LOL

Very true, but $10 is extortion. $2 I can understand...it takes a minute to change something so that's like $120/hr.

But $10 for something that takes one minute...umm that's $600/hr Yikes
