Welcome! Here is a little introduction to this blog...

First I want to say I'm in computer support. I work for a major University and I am a "Support Specialist". I support computers. That means I can do multiple platforms (both hardware and software). I am well versed in Mac, Windows and Linux (and multiple versions of each). Lets get something straight, if all you support are windows boxes you aren't in computer support, you are in windows support. So please don't tell me you are in computer support, such a limited knowledge means nothing. Want to be in computer support? Then get it through your head that there is more to the world than just micro$oft and learn and USE something else on a regular basis as well. Otherwise your opinion that windows rules and everything else sucks, is worthless. Period. Like the republican party, windows doesn't need more pundits out there towing the party line and spewing tired and over-rehearsed talking points. But that is a prelude to another rant...

Don't post comments with flames, anything but Micro$oft sucks (there are more than enough pundits for the shit Redmond puts in a box and calls products), pro Republicant, or anything else I might disagree with, I'll just delete it. If I want your opinion, I'll give it too you!

Dude You're Getting Sued...

So who I'm sure by the point most have seen the NY Times about Dell's "little debacle" (read major f**k up). Seriously who doesn't love a major cover up perpetrated by one of largest PC manufacturers. So you purchased many of the now infamous bad capacitors, but instead of admitting you have a problem (remember that is the first step) instead you manufacture almost 12 million machines with them, and no less do it with your business class line. Yes, yes I know these caps ended up everywhere, on mobos, consumer electronics, and even in other OEM's like Apple, but at least they admitted the problem and even did a repair extension, as did many other OEM's. So here's to you Dell. I hope you get sued into the stone age. Maybe your lawyers will dump you since they appear to have had the problem too. Explains so much about their machines doesn't it?
