Wasn't this the same guy that killed single-player only games from EA?

Not quite - it was EA Labels president Frank Gibeau

"I have not green lit one game to be developed as a single-player experience," Gibeau said. "Today, all of our games include online applications and digital services that make them live 24/7/365."

Leonard Coleman -- from Heinz and baseball team owner (probably helps on sports licensing)

From his Wikipedia page....
Leonard S. Coleman, Jr. was the last, non-honorary president of the National League. He held the office until 1999 when it was eliminated by Major League Baseball.

He held a worthless title that was eliminated over 10 years ago.

Hopefully the laptop they provided you isn't some undockable consumer version unit but a business class unit that can be - Dell's laptop docks for their business class laptops can support two monitors, and I would assume HP's can to. Get a real keyboard, mouse, dock, use the 27 as the primary, and if you feel like it, get another monitor as a secondary.

Our company is moving from Sprint to AT&T and we looked at both flagship Android phones (the One X and the S3) ... it was pretty simple - Samsung makes a better phone for our needs: The whole non-user-replaceable battery deal (a first for HTC in this gen of phones) is beyond Apple-lame...why clone that feature? For the amount of use we put into our units, batteries need to be replaced...I already have an extended run battery in mine... Lack of SD card. Portable is better, but I've heard AT&T was the driver on the lack of SD card slot the One X (since the Sprint variant does have one) ... but they let/wanted the Galaxy to have it?

Dell, in its "infinite wisdom", have been providing both of these restore options for years now on a separate recovery partition.

This is why you DO NOT buy their Consumer Grade stuff - you ONLY have the option of recovery partitions - their business class hardware you have the $3.00 option (that's all it is) for each of the 3 CD's - Windows, Drivers, and their OEM'd apps like Roxio and PowerDVD.
