My ISP Netcentral’s ADSL Broadband Clients were offline between 07:30am and 13:30pm.

I spent the entire morning getting calls about it. I was in the same boat.

I was amazed I CANNOT do my job without the internet. I need it to work properly.

Waiting on Dell to start shipping Core 2 Duo laptop products is getting painful.

I assume its down to stock levels of their existing core duo’s and the recent battery recall thats causing a slump.

The chips are out, its just a matter of time.

One way to look at it:

You get a safer device
You get a new battery (worth about £40)

But the Dell Technical Support Lines have melted under the volume of calls and Telehone support calls are taking up to 30 mins to get answered.

I get to change my phone once a year, this year I want to go back to a smaller device.

I have had and used a P800, P900 so the P990i is just the latest in the family of great phones.

“People tend to focus too much on what happened in the last 24 hours,” Dell said. “I like to look at the last 24 years.”
