Dell Japan. You get a repair person at your site the next business day for three years (or five years for an extra US$130) with the laptops I've been looking at. And they really do get you someone here; I had a power supply on a Dell desktop die on me, and they fixed it the next day. (Desktop support may be one year extendable to three. But you can extend it (for a price) just before it expires.) -- David J. Littleboy Tokyo, Japan

Come up with a better munge. Oh, and don't bother to respond on this thread--I've just added all posts containing "ipod", "ipad", "iphone", "itunes", "macs", or "osx" to the killfile.

Or perhaps they just find it really annoying I do. I even hate it when films go over board with the misic to an extent that you can;t hear the dialogue, I don;t call that enjoyable even when it's meant to happen. > The pleasure derived from listening > to good music adds up to the pleasure derived from listening > to a fascinating audiobook. If I'm listening to a facsinating audio book then why would I want to listen to music ? There's little proof that the human brain can mulititask, what is does is ignore whatever other inmut is present, it's more time slicing than multitasking. > Sometimes I worry that I might die of a pleasure overdose, but > pleasure is one of those rare things that you can't have too much of.
