Not too long ago, I remember when Dell was considered a cutting-edge, respectable computer company.  Their customer service was unparalleled (now it just sucks), they made a name for themselves by customizing their computers to meet the needs of their customers and they offered specialty peripherals.  It was great. Now, people aren’t buying desktops like they used to.  I still have three in my home and I have no plans of replacing them (although, there are also three laptops in my house as well) but I’m also aware of the fact that there are times when something more portable would be best.  I never really got into the Blackberry thing but yesterday my husband and I were looking at netbooks because we are often on the... [Read more]

Still, there’s no price on being friendly to the environment, right?  Unfortunately, it takes a whole 20 hours outside/40 hours indoors of sun exposure to get this bad baby up to full charge.  The one thing that irks me about my iPod is that I can’t put some batteries into it to get it to work, I’ve got... [Read more]
