Dell - A bunch of paranoid Americans?

[Chris M]

I was in the process of checking out a new Dell Laptop, as my own laptop got broken...:ermm:

Upon browsing the site, I decided to see how much the finance deals etc were...

So I checked them out, and wanted to see what kind of personal information they wanted...

I nearly wet myself when I read, and I quote:

* Q4. Will the product(s) be used in connection with weapons of mass destruction, i.e. nuclear applications, missile technology, or chemical or biological weapons purposes?
ROFL :p

As if anyone would answer yes... :p

* Chris M thinks about it, and selects yes to see what happens:p

Dell is the only company in the business of producing weapons of mass des--er, I mean, very powerful computers.

Thus they don't want the competition. :rolleyes:

I used to work for Dell Sales, and the reason they ask that is because of some US Government regulations.
