Today Dell gets smacked again by news of a older gentleman driving back from his fishing vacation and having his laptop blow up and burn his Fathers 1966 Ford truck to the ground.
THOMAS FORQUERAN thought he was looking after his laptop by placing it on the floor of his truck while he and his chum loaded up their tackle after a two-day fishing trip.

But, moments later, his grandpa's 1966 Ford burst into flames in a blaze that set off boxes of ammunition and had Forqueran and his mate, Rod Riddle, running for their lives.

    In the near future, all laptops will ship with this label affixed to them:

    meh its from the The Inquirer :\ and we all know how they can bs stuff

    but this is the reason i bought a HP instead of a DELL laptop...plus 2 many horror stories of Dells going to hell in a handbasket after the warrenty; Mobos blowing up, Video Cards Toasting, oh and my friends Wireless Card went out like..4,5 times even under warrenty, Dell makes decent Desktops but sub par Laptobs, while Hp makes sub par Desktops but decent laptobs

    well it is listed at the Consumerreports, and actually the Inquirer has been pretty much 100% in 95% of their posts... its the bias ones that usually fail...
