I figured that I couldn't transfer the warranty. I didn't figure that I wouldn't even be able to buy tech support. I could have delt with all that, but when I called them, the attitude they gave me convinced me that I don't want to...

Yup. I think that's it. Might be the 160 gig one, but I don't think so. I had no idea that you could hook up both the USB and Firewire ports at the same time. Hell, I don't even have the mini firewire cord to hook into the laptop.

That is exactly what I did. Not only did Alienware customer service treat me like absolute sh**, but resellers wouldn't let me post my experiences. Trust me, if I'd know then what I know now, I'd have never bought an Alienware, despite...

I've got an external drive which uses either firewire or USB2. I was wondering if anyone has a drive like this set up to run thier games off it. Is the transfer rate fast enough? I mean, it'd be nice to have a hundred and twenty gig...

Actually, arurora, you sort of missed the point. The person I delt with was very rude and condescending. And that, I can do with out. When I *do* buy a new machine, I won't get an Alienware. I don't feel they were 'mean' to me. ...
