		<description>Dell onsite service is done (or aleast was) though a management company, much like the way Seibel handles their support for major chains.  They called my office and said they provided the onsite support for Dell warranties and offered to let us handle support calls in our area if we agreed to their $40 per hour rate.  Since our billable was $90 at that time, we told them &quot;no thanks&quot;.</description>

		<description>Wow, I didn&#039;t realize Dell had a national base of onsite technicians. I always thought the warranty work was from resellers. Thanks Peter.</description>

		<description>Nick: Those are great questions, and I must admit I don&#039;t have the answers. I will check in with Dell to get you those answers. Hope to have some specifics for you and other readers later today.</description>

		<description>Joe,

Do you know how they define resolution and management, and the differences?  Also, does their resolution include onsite resolution if necessary?

Thanks!</description>
