nope not a Dell - its a new eMachine T6212. :)
Yeah the computer had a whole LOAD of STUFF on it that we deleted. For one

that too. It put up a fight but we killed it. ;)
Wish I had looked into all of this before we sat there for 4 hours and
transferred all the data over. New computer excitement I guess - we weren't
thinking clearly. Now I've got a mess. *sigh*
