    That's interesting. I sent them an email and just got a shed load of advice on what to do if my system has a problem. Like you I want the discs so I will always be able to install vital info if necessary. Do you know which department you got through to as I might give this a go too. Thanks

    Direct number I was given by support was:

    0870 90 80 800

    As we move closer and closer and closer to the end of Dell's financial year, I think their special offers will become more and more and more tempting... ;)

    Just spoke to a nice man in tech support. It took him a while to understand what it was I actually wanted because I wasn't sure myself! Anyway, the outcome is that they are sending me discs in post. Great! Many thanks Chuffy.

    But if they check this and find it to be fictional, arent I committing some form of fraud? :eek:

    it's not fraud, you could be starting up a new small business today, and then tomorrow you could decide to fold. It's not fraud anyway, even if you have no intentions of starting a business, BUT...

    by declaring it a business purchase, you may lose some consumer protection as some laws apply to business to consumer transactions but you would be making a business to business transaction. That's why you get a small discount on the consumer price.

    So they are sending out a set of discs for free?

    What did you tell them? :D
