Well our business buys a hell of a lot of equipment off Dell... I mean we spend a few million a year on computers... so I just sent a nice e-mail saying that I would like to know what went on and that there are assurances that this is not going to happen next time I decide to turn on my laptop...

but I think that I will ask for some fire proof underwear as well

Problem being although it happened on a Dell Laptop its probably not Dells fault per se, it just happens with some faulty batteries which is what it looks like, a battery explosion.

Yea but even one faulty battery is one too many. People carry those around and sit with them rather close to their body. Think what the repercussions would be if this happened and someone got some serious burns from it?

ROFL at it being a Dell. My dad loves that company :rolleyes:

That guy is wearing all that body armour and stuff, but what about his hands. Has he not heard of an invention called gloves

Is there any actual proof that it was an accident and not someones idea of a joke? Someone could have put some explosive in a laptop, set it to go off when the screen saver starts, and rrruuunnn!!!

I own a dell laptop. No explosions yet

Though it does get hot while playing world of warcraft. And I mean almost melts your jeans to your legs kind of hot.

Knowing Dell support they'll probably ask him if he can recreate the fault and tell them what it says on the screen.

Quite a lot of people you'd think wear gloves don't as it changes the tactility of things... Think bomb disposal, think pliers. Soliders tend not to wear gloves either or have fingerless ones.
