I have owned my Dell Laptop for exactly 12 months. Haven't had a single problem with it.... until this morning when I got to work. It will no longer connect to the Internet!! It was working just fine last night at home with the wireless, but today it has "limited or no connectivity". WTF?? How does that happen overnight? I had our tech guy at work spend about 45 minutes on it and he had no luck either...we just know that the port is screwy. I am hoping the wireless works when I get home tonight, but I am afraid that it won't. Not sure what to do next...call Dell and wait on hold for 5 hours just to have someone hang up on me when I finally get through? Thats what happens to my girl Hillary every time she calls them! Bring it to the Geek Squad at Best Buy and have them charge me an arm and a leg??? I NEED this computer for every thing I do...all of my pics are stored on it as well as tons of stuff I need for work. Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!! This makes me literally feel sick!
So I will have to post my latest pictures and news some other time!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Here's your first tip:
DON'T BUY A DELL!!!!!!! I don't like Dell, but I think that is because they are our biggest competitor at work!!! Buy an HP next time. :) However, you buy HP or Dell and you are stuck on hold for 5 hours waiting for tech support. For two of the biggest computer distributors in the country, their customer service and technical support processes SUCK!!!! I wish I could help Kristi. I know how much some of us depend on our PC's.

Bummer! I totally know the feeling! Hang in there for a bit. Hopefully it will work at home...sometimes I get the feeling that computers are temperamental.
