Reply to: Why we should boycott Dell products

Response:

[quote=mountain man]The only thing that large companies understand is revenue. If we all STOP  and THINK and don't buy DELL products their admittedly excellent customer service applications will very quickly tell them that there is a very large Revenue hole in Ireland. BUT please don't go and give the money away to other companies who never had a presence here either. At least Siemens and HP have a large workforce here. They don't assemble PC's but they do give good services employment to hundreds of Irish people.

I don't work foro any of the above companies.

By the way the whole notion that Dell was a manufacturing business in this country is tripe. It was an assembly plant. Just like the motor industry component parts are made and imported into a factory from all around the world, assembled and shipped back out again. Not sure that any of the politicians ever understood that.

Not surprising that they went away but DELL systems are expensive now and their quality and delivery times have degraded noticably since they went to Poland. Serves them right.

Mind you when you hear some of the stories from the local Gardai in Limerick involving shift workers and nixers that were happening near to the factory you might question how computers were ever assembled at all!! [/quote]
