A while back I purchased a Dell D630, which has been a great system for me. However, over the last few months it's begun running hot. Very hot. So, I called Dell and they said it wasn't safe and they wanted to get it fixed as soon as possible. Three days later, a brand new D630 showed up on my doorstep. With a faster processor, better graphic card and larger hard drive. Wow! That is great support.
I've been using Vista for a while now, but as I'm setting this system up I am taking my time and digging-in just a bit more. First thing I've noticed is Windows Live Writer. Very easy to setup, just typed in the name of my blog and my login after which it connected to my blog, downloaded some stuff and now I'm creating my first blog on Live Writer.
So far, it seems easy to use and is a welcome change from using Word or typepad to create blog entries. It also makes insert pictures very easy, see:
Time to get back to the Lakers v Celtics game and a bottle of Dogfish Head IBA. But don't worry, more observations are coming soon.
John, it was simply cheaper for them to send you out a new system than have to worry about the multi-million dollar lawsuit they would be facing when it blew up and gave you 4th degree burns over 75% of your body....
