Just a quick shout out to those of you who work in IT in offices that generally throw out the Windows XP Professional Manuals and Dell/HP badged CDs which come with the machines. I'm in need of a large quantity to replace manuals and CD sets thrown out along with the packaging boxes when our cleaners were a little over-zealous!

I know that most larger firms will throw out these CD/manual sets but since we're a reseller who sells them as part of a larger service, we need to ship these along with the machines! So if anyone has any that they were going to throw out anyway, I'd be willing to make it worth your while to collect them up and pass them along to me... I'm looking for around 30, but I realise that may be too many for an individual so any you can get would be appreciated!

If you can help, please drop me a line at brendan@oxleycomputerservies.com.au along with how much you would want to get them all together and make them available for pickup. Thanks!

while you're at it, fire those cleaners

You could try hp spare parts and re-ordering them

whoop, we gave them a good dressing down, but there is only so much you can say to a little old lady from overseas without seeming like a right prick!

it was our own stupid fault for leaving them in the boxes, and the boxes stacked up in the hallway... oh well, will know better next time!

Tried HP, they won't come to the party, plus a majority of the systems were Dell so it would look stupid to send out Dell machines with HP CDs and stuff.

i must have 40+ of them

and another 5 dell machines un opened :S

That would be great, if you weren't in the UK! Hehehe

Speaking of Dell, does anyone know any Dell certified repairers ?

fark me i hate dell

they build useless machines
