The ones with the full-color MS mailer (phony) looks like someone went

My niece just started college at Colby-Sawyer and the only reason she 
was allowed to hook up her computer in the dorm was because Dad had 
bought her a new DELL --------- all other machines on campus were wiped 
out and being restored thanks to the SoBig.
