When I bought my XP Home Edition PC by Dell in August of 2002, I got all my software disks with my computer when it arrived at the house. I special ordered my PC direct from Dell. After getting a new PC for my wife, we discovered that companies are starting to have all the software in the computer, thus making the user create backup disks of the software. So, if you are used to having those nice and convenient disks with your PC, well that is probably a thing of the past. Guess, it’s getting too costly for the companies to provide that convenience. I should also mention that when you create those backups, you usually are only allowed one copy. So, if you have any problems along the way, well, that’s the way it goes. I can’t guarantee that my wife’s backup is any good, I had a little trouble with it.
What ever happened to the days that the Customer always came first. Sure, the companies will continue to say that, but, it’s like it is changing as time goes on.
