One less laptop

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

There’s one less laptop in our pool this week, at least for now. It seems this particular laptop was a victim of a miracle. It was in a padded laptop case, just stuck in a car, and somehow the front of it (all the way across the base) got cracked and the touchpad doesn’t work. It’s truly amazing how that could happen just sitting in the car, isn’t it? But that must be what happened, since it was fine when it got packed up.. 😉

Anyway, Dell is sending out a field rep later this week to take a look at it. I hope they can get it working, because the hours I spent doing a full reinstall of Windows on that very laptop a couple of weeks ago seems like such a waste now!

Update: Dell rep had it fixed in 10 minutes. I didn’t even get to see him. Nice.

    Seen at Geek News Central, Zoomr, an on-line photo-sharing service similar to Flickr is giving away free pro accounts to bloggers. That’s actually not a bad idea to generate some Buzz, especially when Flickr has really become the market leader and beaten you to that Buzz. When that’s the case, you definitely have to get…

    Angela braved the Friday morning crowds to pick up a new toy for us, well for her more than anything, but we’ll both be enjoying it. At $154 the Kodak EasyShare CX4300 digital camera was a nice addition to the family gadget collection. Anytime you can grab a 3.1 megapixel camera for that price, it’s…
