Dell recall

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So how many of the laptops you support have had their batteries recalled? We have 12 pool laptops and it looks like 6 of them will need to be replaced. Dell’s site reported that it would take about 2 weeks to get the replacements, but I imagine it might really take loner given the size of this recall.

Since taking half our pool laptops out of circulation for that long is pretty much out of the question, we might have to come up with some fun, friendly warning signs to pop on them for now. 🙂

    It’s easy to lose sight sometimes of how “magical” what we do in tech support can appear to the people we support. Over the last couple of days I’ve had the opportunity to work on a couple of problems for our users that, well let’s just say that the solutions to these problems won’t come…

    I’ve been told by Readyhosting’s Tech Support people that the current problems with the site will probably continue through the weekend. They are having a router issue, and the spare part they need to fix their router issue won’t be in until then. So this weekend you can expect random script errors and general unresponsiveness…

    I downloaded and played around a bit with Dave’s OPML Editor last night because I thought I might have use for an online outliner. You can see the result here. I think it’s a decent tool, and useful for a lot of things, but I’m not sure it’s the right tool for what I want…

    Someone, who shall remain nameless but who is related to me, (although not in my immediate family) forwarded me one of those chain letter email thingies. Not a big deal, she’s been known to do this from time to time, but in this case, she didn’t take out any of the previous forwarding information. This…

    No seriously, I attended an Internet Security Systems demo/seminar this morning and they gave away t-shirts with big smiley faces and “Security is Happiness” printed under them. They’re pretty silly looking, I’ll try and webcam it tonight so you can see what I’m talking about. The seminar was decent, it’s always humorous when you setup…

  1. Hi Mike,

    Out of 10 laptops that we have, 8 of them needed batteries. All 8 were purchased about 8 months ago.
