| | | | what the hell is wrong with dell? < on 2/9/2008 1:50 AM > | Reply with Quote
| | | My laptop's virus/popup blocker expired a few days ago, so ive been having multiple problems ever since then. This afternoon i go to turn it on, and the background shows up but no shortcuts or bars come up. So, i take the battery out and leave it for a few hours. Who knows what that will resolve. Turn on my computer tonight, starts up fine, then a black screen with "PBR 2...DONE" appears. turn it off, take the battery out, fiddle around with it, nothing. call Dell half expecting to get someone i cant understand and have to wait an hour listening to elevator music, but thankfully i get Barbera. Barbera seems like a sweet lady until my warranty expired. So now Barb wants me to pay 129FUCKINGDOLLARS for a service call fee. "Well cant i just tell you whats wrong and you can give me a general idea how to fix it?" "no erin im sorry thats not how it works". 129 dollars. for one call. OR 139 for 4 support calls. So now im out of a personal computer until i can get over to staples or best buy. Is it time to get a macbook?

Everything interesting is always behind a fence.

| No no no, just install Linux. You'll be fine. Fedora, Ubuntu, both okay for newbie. L
