Subject: DELL 1600 and 1650 potential fire risk

Thanks for that John. That looks like it. Although from what the techies
I have spoken to have said, it is a bit more serious than what that
article says. They were saying that the whole unit is basically rat-sh*t
afterwards.
 
They stressed that the hard-drives went as well, so make sure backups
were pretty frequent.
 
I don't know, mabey if the techs were actually from Dell, they would be
a bit more responsive.......lol
 
Chris

	Hi Chris,
	
	Personally, if my office and everyone in it was conceivably in
peril of
	imminent destruction by raging inferno I don't think I'd let my
account
	rep 'gloss over' the problem.
	
	Do you not like your co-workers?  :)
	
	Take care,
	
	Cael
