Dell recall

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 Memorial Day. Given that, it was only natural to spend some of the day at Appomattox Court House and then the D-Day Memorial in Bedford, VA. This picture was from the second stop of the day, and if you’re in the area of Bedford, I highly recommend it! More pictures when I get back…

  1. Hi Mike,

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