Just checked my Dell batteries for explosion potential...

:yoiks: Fortunately, both my personal laptop and my work laptop are not affected. Whew! :) If you saw Countdown last night, you saw the guy whose truck was engulfed by flames when his Dell laptop battery spontaneously combusted. Yeah, that's thrilling to everyone who owns a Dell, huh?

If you didn't see it, here's the recall page: https://www.dellbatteryprogram.com/Default.aspx

Dude, you're NOT getting a Dell next time.... :rofl:

2. I checked mine too

Our local news had a report about a woman who was electrocuted by hers and now has permanent nerve damage in her hand. Fortunately mine isn't on the recall list.

3. Personally I don't like to use any computer where there isn't the risk

of imminent explosion. Just all seems a bit too tame, you know? :P

4. Michael Dell is a *big* Bush backer. Now, WHY does he hate America?

Selling explosive devices is un-American!!!!!! :grr: :nuke:

5. Mine has to be replaced.

Hope the new one gets here soon! :scared:
