dell here in denmark is really bad customer service. they have leased the department out to other companies where one former employee told the program that some of the new employees where not even able to turn on the computer and log in on their fiirst day. in short they are not trained at all to deal with computers. gets a paper where standard answers is described and expected to get rid of customers as fast as possible. there is a agreement on how long a customer can take up time or they loose some part of te payment from dell if it takes longer.

the story the program where focuses on today was a woman buying a dell laptop for 33.000 danish kroner that never worked. it gave blue screen every time it was turned on and the repair man changed ram and all other sorts of things before the tv show where in on it they denied having responsibility conserning the problem and after the show where on the air she then got a new laptop.

I was wondering now if anyone has bad things to say about dell computers. they where selling linux preinstalled at sometime I know. where there any problems on those other than people not getting xp and familiar system.]]>

Here is an outrageous example:

Quote:A top Microsoft executive on Tuesday suggested a broad Internet tax to help defray the costs associated with computer security breaches and vast Internet attacks, according to reports.

Microsoft asking for an internet tax to fix the vulnerabilities of it's operating system is like Toyota asking for a gasoline tax to fund repairs to it's faulty cars! Even if you don't drive a Toyota, you would pay higher fuel prices and a portion would go to Toyota, to fund the repairs and pay for damages caused by their failures. This proposed internet tax is another bailout - this time for a huge mega-corporation that dominates something like 90% of the computer software market. And Linux users like me, and Mac users would be charged money to help Microsoft deal with all the problems caused by their failures. You may as well ask Jack the Ripper to babysit, and then pay him to clean up the blood after he murders a kid.

If an internet tax is actually passed by my government, I'll get off the internet entirely. Perhaps the way to go if that tax becomes reality, would be to go back to those old style BBSes (bulletin board systems) that preceded the internet. Of course, we'll need BBS software for Linux and Mac, because I'm sure Windows' popularity and market share will plummet if this request of theirs is granted.]]>

Can anyone here recommend something on the lower proce end but something that works. price is important but the main thing is that it works and will be working for as long as I have it. dont want to buy stuff that breaks too easy.

thanks.

also one thing. I never used one or heard of anyone use one. maybe its ergonomic design and such but does it actually work and will people feel the benefit from using them. do anyone here know someone that been using one.

I do know of a simple fix. I have some extra rubber thingys to put under a phone and these will be able to raise the laptop for the right angle . they will have to be glued on though. takes the price down on the lap if I sell it one day.]]>

I have no problems at all with anything that makes Arch easier to install, so long as you are already an Arch user. I do think that for new Arch users, the installation process is extremely educational & for all but the tiniest percentage of users, a mandatory part of the Arch system education process.

I am happy to announce that we have just released version 9.0 of
CrossOver Mac and CrossOver Linux.

This release, code named 'Snow Mallard', is the first major overhaul
of CrossOver since version 1.0. It includes a completely new user
interface for Linux and a revamped user interface for the Mac, which
should make everything faster and more intuitive.

Further, this release includes over a year's work on Wine
(over 7,500 individual patches), so you'll find a wide variety of
other miscellaneous fixes and improvements. Notable changes include
support for macros in Excel, as well as some improvements in Internet
Explorer 7. A short list of highlights is included below.

If you are an existing CrossOver customer with an active support entitlement,
you can visit our web site to download this latest version:
http://www.codeweavers.com
You will need to log in with the email and password that you used when
purchasing CrossOver. Click on 'My Account' and then 'My Downloads'
to download this release. Please write to info@codeweavers.com if you need
help with this process.

Thanks again for all your support, and I hope that you enjoy CrossOver 9!

Cheers,

* CrossOver 9.0.0 - 2010/02/26

CrossOver changes:

- Bold new look!
- Entirely redesigned application install process
- Much faster bottle creation and manipulation times
- Our application installation process is now guided by
'C4 Profiles', XML files that should allow the process
to be extended by anyone

Application support improvements:

- Some improvements in Internet Explorer, particularly IE7
- Major improvements in Microsoft Office; notably Word clipart
and Excel Macros should now work. Outlook stability should
continue to improve
- Limited support for Quicken 2010
- Merged with Wine version 1.1.34
This represents a years work in Wine, 7578 patches in all,
far too many to describe

This Friday, the UK government could make history by creating the world’s largest Marine Protection Area around the Chagos Islands.

Our ocean ecosystems are literally dying under pressure from mass, uncontrolled commercial fishing and pollution. This decision could start to turn the tide. But commercial fishing companies are opposing the move, putting short term profits ahead of all sense. We can’t let that happen -- already, over 90% of big fish like tuna and marlin are gone.

Together, let’s send the UK government a tidal wave of global public support urging them to be bold and protect oceans from exploitation. Sign the petition below, then forward it to everyone you know. It will be delivered to Foreign Secretary David Miliband by the deadline this Friday!

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_our_oceans/?vl

The reports are dire: in 38 years, our oceans could be completely fished-out, in 100 years, all coral reefs might be dead. This action alone, won’t be enough to turn the tide. But it will establish a 210,000 square-mile Marine Protected Area -- bigger than the Great Barrier Reef.

To truly save the world’s oceans from collapse will require bold political leadership and dedicated citizens taking action. In 2010, the International Year of Biodiversity, a UK decision to create the world's largest Marine Protected Area would secure a conservation legacy almost unrivalled in scale and significance. This would set a clear example to other governments around the world.

Let's drown out the voices of the commercial fishing companies, and lay the foundation for protecting our oceans for generations to come. Sign the petition below, and forward it to friends and family:

http://www.avaaz.org/en/save_our_oceans/?vl

With hope,

Alice, Iain, Paul, and the rest of the Avaaz team
