NOTE BOOK BATTERIES
I AM PLEASED WITH MY NEW INSPIRON LAPTOP..........THIS IS MY 4TH LAP TOP.
THE ALL IN ONE PRINTER THAT I WAS SUGGESTED TO PURCHASE WORKS FINE.
AS A MARKETING PERSON I DO HAVE A QUESTION AS TO WHY WHEN PURCHASING A NEW LAP TOP YOU ARE NOT OFFERED ADDITIONAL BATTERIES? DON'T MOST
CUSTOMERS BUY AT LEAST ONE ADDITIONAL BATTERY?
I PURCHASED A SPARE BATTERY ON LINE FROM DELL, ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THE SAME AS THE ORIGINAL BATTERY THAT CAME WITH THE COMPUTER, (THE NEW SPARE WILL HAVE 12 CELLS IN LIEU OF THE 8 CELL ORIGINAL BATTERY) IT IS THE ONLY ONE OFFERED AS A SPARE AND NOT THE SAME NUMBER AS THE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE ORGINAL BATTERY SAY TO REPLACE WITH. PUZZLING
THAT DELL MARKETING DEPT. WOULDN'T STREAMLINE A SIMPLE THING LIKE SPARE BATTERIES.
WHEN I FIRST SENT MESSAGES THRU THIS FORUM I WAS ASKING HOW TO OBTAIN A SPARE BATTERY AND WAS TOLD TO ORDER FROM DELL BY PHONE BUT I ENTERED LAP TOP (NOTEBOOK) BATTERIES IN THE FIND BOX AND THEN ENTERED INSPIRON 1150 AND THE BATTERY I WAS OFFERED WAS THE ONE I ORDERED. I WAS INFORMED BY E-MAIL OF THE CONFIRMATION AND THEN A DAY OR TWO LATER ANOTHER E-MAIL THAT MY BATTERY WOULD NOT BE SHIPPED UNTIL AT LEAST DEC. 9TH.
THAT IS FINE WITH ME, NO REAL HURRY. BUT STILL WONDER WHY A PURCHASER IS NOT OFFERED ADDITIONAL BATTERY AT TIME OF PURCHASE?
LIKE FAST FOOD WINDER CLERK "WOULD YOU LIKE SOME FRIES WITH THAT?"
ANYWAY WHEN THE NEW BATTERY COMES AND I SEE THAT MY BATTERY IS RUNNING LOW................IT WILL BE NICE TO SLIP IN A SPARE AS I HAVE ALWAYS DONE WITH MY OTHER LAP TOPS.
CIAO!! WARM REGARDS, DONALD LAUGHLIN DONALD FOODS COMPANY
RODNEY...............THANKYOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO REPLY AMIGO.
THIS IS MY FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH DELL..............SO FAR A.O.K.
MY BUDDY IN GREENBAY HAS A BIG BIZ' WITH A FLEET OF TRUCKS, HE HAS SEVERAL DELL COMPUTERS AND IS HAPPY WITH THEM. THAT'S WHY I SWITCHED TO DELL.
I PAID GRAND TOTAL 180 BUCKS FOR THE BATTERY, JUST ALWAYS LIKE TO CARRY A SPARE WHEN I TRAVEL...................JUST A HABIT. ON MY OTHER LAP TOPS I HAVE WORN OUT A FEW BATTERIES JUST ABOUT THE TIME I NEEDED TO UPGRADE TO A NEW COMPUTER.
THANKS AGAIN, CIAO! DONNIE L DONALD FOODS CO

Is your keyboard broken? It appears that your CAPS LOCK KEY IS STUCK SO IT LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING AT US.- Perhaps, but you might want to consider not using all caps outside your company, because it IS considered rude by netiquette standards. It is also a great way to get your company email flagged as spam by many of the common filters in use for trapping spam before it is sent on to the recipient.

>>agreed<<Good grief -- no doubt. ALL-CAPS makes the one using them look like a Kindergartner printing with a crayon. It is a senseless exercise in laziness, unless one is trying to sound like Officer Barbrady from "South Park."Doug
