Won't apply here either, not because politics per se, but more that
Dell box isn't our standard hardware model and as such it isn't very

Hi Vesna,

Which service contract is that? The warranty contract we have with Dell?
Or the membership contract our LIR has with the NCC? Better yet, give me
a date. :-)
