Ok. I got a new laptop. You might remember my rants about my laptop order from Dell. I waited over 2.5 months to get that laptop and they never shipped. So ordered an Alienware. A $5,000 dream machine.
Its been a month since I ordered and I just got it. Turned it on and used it to upload a couple pics, and then about 6 hours layer I decided to stretch its legs and try half life 2. Played great for 30 minutes, then *CLICK*, no video. Apperently the video card wasn’t screwed down tight or there was poorly soildered connection somewhere. All I know is that the mother board and video card are damanged ($2100 worth of parts). I called and no questions ask, they are taking the machine back and sending me a new one. Dell would of given me the third degeree.
While I still don’t have a good machine yet, but at least I don’t feel like I’m getting up the rear like I did with Dell.
In the mean time, I just ordered a new Soekris board. Going to get Mono on it. Might tinkering with getting mono running on iPod linux later thats to the new working port on the ARM processor. Hehehe
