Apple charge £19.99 for that service -- Dell gives it to you for free. Windows wins!

I read this on Digg last night, and thought it was quite funny, but I felt sorry for the guy really.

He should have never listen the Dell guy's advice and connected the Power Supply to his old laptop in the first place. Voltage and Amp outputs where probably totally out.

It was interesting to see how many Dell employees posted on the thread their comments saying that they will help the guy out.

The problem is not how he b0rked his laptop. It is that it came complete with pubes.

I saw this story on Diggnation. This isn't the reason why I own a Mac, but it's def a reason NOT to own a Dell!

I suppose, if you like pubes though, it may be a reason for choosing Dell ;-)

Is it true that Sinclair Spectrum 128's came with some of Ruperts pubes in them? ;-)

I wonder if you really are the kind of guy who bows down to Steve Jobs, because for some reason its all you say... DELL ARE A HARDWARE, MICROSOFT ARE SOFTWARE!, don't blame dell...much.
