Ann Meffert
Is there a way to report people who post ads that are inappropriate to
the newsgroup?
It's bad enough that this junk slips through e-mail, but this is a

someone was extremely busy last night posting junk on most of...

Batteries in Inspiron 8500 question by
John Noory
How long will the computer run with both batteries installed?

To the first question. They do both charge at the same time.
To the second question, it appears to me that the computer draws power
from
both at the same time too. When I run my 8500 with both batteries

Dell pricing... Website versus mail out catalogue by
JBL
Every month I receive a glossy catalogue (yeah, weird spelling eh!) in my
mailbox from Dell. The prices in there are CHEAPER than Dell's website.
I'm not sure what the deal is. I think the website prices include freight

blank screen sometimes:why? by
Frank Howard
It's about my second-hand Dell Laptop.
(Latitude XPi-CD). It's worked fine
for a year.
But, recently the screen will stay blank on
powering up.
Sometimes also color is skewed to red on
firing up.
This can be cured by switching off and on again.
What is a good fix for this trouble?
Any help...

adding a CDRW to Dim 4550 by
Lester Horwinkle
The drive can be master or CS (or even slave, most likely).
The drive doesn't care.
But Dells are set up for CS.
So just do everything (hard drives, CDs, DVDs, even Zip drives) using CS.

Shamrock44
I'm about ready to buy a new desktop pc - do you think that the 4600 is worth
the extra $$? I plan on using it for internet surfing, word processing,
downloading pics from the digital cam I plan on buying this Fall, etc.
