  My First Mini Dell Experience

  main No Comments

  Having been amongst the first to purchase the Dell 910 Mini I wanted to share my experience with others that might be thinking about acquiring this item or one of the other sub-notebook or ‘netbooks’ as they have become known. I manage a web design agency and I’ve been contemplating the idea of acquiring myself a more modern laptop as my old Dell Inspiron from 2003 is as heavy as a brick.

  Shortly after having retired the old Dell to my girlfriends house (I couldn’t face lugging it back and forwards any longer so it just lives there now, I might well do the same with myself one of these days soon!) it stopped charging and wouldn’t run from the mains, so eventually when I gave it to my tech to repair he found out that it was one of the known faulty models, the 5150 which developed a problem with the motherboard overheating after prolonged use, this I found out about 2 years after they stopped replacing them as part of a class action lawsuit, shame I’m two years too late to get it replaced for free!

  Ah well what’s 150 quid for a factory refurbished Motherboard off ebay, compared with years of loyal service in spite of being dropped a couple of times, spat on repeatedly, eaten over and all manner of other not recommended usage styles! I even used to have it hooked up to my TV via the onboard S-VHS port and watch films on it, so it has seen some action, oh yes!

  However, this was all inspired by my step dad who just took delivery of top of the range Toshiba Portege at around £1,200, but he’s at that time in life where 1,200 quid is affordable, where as I’m still in financial recovery from my last divorce (yes there was more than one!)! So I happened across the Dell Inspiron 910 Mini on the Dell website whilst looking at specs of notebooks for a customer, and there it was £299 inc VAT and delivery. What a bargain I thought!

  Anyway there I was credit card on hot standby, wrist twitching ready to make a purchase, but hang on I thought, why am I buying this, do I really need it? No, I don’t NEED it I just WANT ONE ! So then some sensibility came over me and I put my credit card away, feeling all pleased with myself at having managed to resist an impulse purchase!

  However, the following day my step Father needs me to take a look at his new machine because he can’t get the printer to work and can’t get it to see the other computers that are on our network(this job for me, comes with the territory! ) So I have to genuinely work on this ultra lightweight Toshiba, wow I’m amazed at how small it is, especially compared to my old Dell 5150! I wish I had cash spare to invest in one of these I thought! I noticed he didn’t have my prescribed security software preloaded though. I installed my family usual internet security solution: Avast Anti Virus and Spybot Search& Destroy, which are amazing packages.

  The next day I had to go to a client’s and as the appointement was first thing in the morning I went straight there from my girlfriends house and took the old laptop with me (which gives me a great excuse to call in on my way back and drop it off, coincidentally around about lunchtime when there might be the chance of a ham, cheese and salad sandwich on the go! Yum, she is soooo good to me!) So anyway, I about put my back out trying to put this incredibly heavy laptop in the car passenger foot well whilst sitting in the drivers’ seat! So having experienced the new lightweight machines first hand, and realised I do have a genuine requirement for the new Dell Inspiron mini after all, weighing in at around 1kg, you know I planned to get that credit card out again as soon as possible!

  So as I had a management meeting that afternoon I informed my Finance Manager I would be ordering one and that was that. It was Friday October 3rd when I placed the order on the Dell website, and on the 8th I got back from a customer meeting to find a tiny cardboard box on my desk with the Dell log on the side, I thought it couldn’t possibly be the new mini as the confirmation email I got said it would be delivered on or around the 20th October, but sure enough it really had arrived! Just a 5 day turn around, wow!

  So I’m like a kid in a sweet shop thinking “best day ever” (See Heroes Season 3), I was ecstatic and carefully unpacked it, tossing instructions and disks to one side of course, “read those later” I thought. I got it out and started setting it up straight away, you know remove McAfee Security Centre and all the other junk software these things come with these days. Why they can’t just send you a blank windows installation I don’t know, more advertising!

  As it has an integrated web cam I also downloaded Windows Live Messenger and had a short video call with my missus whilst she was doing her house work, fantastic!So next I Googled ‘mobile broadband suppliers’ and toyed with ordering the USB dongle from Three, as their 5GB monthly allowance is only 15 quid a month so the best looking deal, providing those coverage stories you hear about Three Mobile are not really true! (Update: Yes the coverage is lousy in all the areas I want to use it, even at my desk I have to connect the dongle to a USB cable and hang it from my roof to get 1 bar signal strength, buy another brand!) Current suggestion is for an O2 dongle as they have good coverage and a good backbone speed.

  Anyway, it was soon time to go and pick up my daughter from school so I thought yeah I’ll take it with me and even though I don’t have the mobile broadband USB Modem yet I can continue configuring it in car park if I’m early. I was early, so I turned it on, it said:

  Windows could not start because of an error in the software.

  Please report this problem as :

  load needed DLLs for kernel.

  Please contact your support person to report this problem

  As we say in England from the popular Catherine Tate sketch “Computer says no…”

  Ah dear, it was great fun whilst it lasted, all of about 2 and a half minutes!Then followed a two and a half hour telethon with Dell support in India Apparently they were so quick to ship the laptop to me that my service tag isn’t on their system yet. Service Tag? What does that have to do with it not booting up?

  In my opinion good support is simple, it’s not like we’re dealing with complicated server virtualization here. It’s a Dell 910 mini laptop, which has an error on the screen when you try to start it up, every time, send a replacement! “We don’t’ know what the service tag is so we can’t do that”, I was absolutely livid. In spite of insisting to speak to the supervisor, I got absolutely nowhere, and they probably thought they had handled that call in the appropriate manner!)

  They suggested I called back in 24-48 hours, well I told them exactly what I thought of their suggestion as I’m sure you can image, but to no avail. I did indeed have to call back today and they have agreed to send me a replacement unit as it is within 7 days of delivery.

  I hope the replacement arrives as promptly as the original unit did…

  So conclusion? Apart from the fact it doesn’t work (a faulty drive in my opinion) and for the life of me I can’t get it to boot from an external drive or USB key (it doesn’t have a CD or DVD drive you know) it feels really solid, looks lovely, and is nice to handle (sounds a bit like the ideal partner to an i-phone 2.0 doesn’t it!).

  Like most reviewers have stated , the keys are small (but blackberry users manage and they are larger than those keys) and the right shift key is tiny and means you can’t type an @ in the usual fashion. But the screen is nice, 3 USB slots, a monitor connector, Ethernet and earphones and mic connectors although it has both speakers and mic internally so you can video conference without having to plug anything in.

  On the whole, I would recommend it, providing you get one that works ! I am also yet to try it with LogMeIn which is my preferred way of dealing with how to access emails, lots of passwords, specialist software and all that kind of thing when you are out and about. Possibly the screen is going to be too small to be able to work with for extended periods of time, but I’ll let you know when the replacement arrives and I have had chance to give it a proper testing, assuming that one doesn’t break on me as soon as I start urm ‘configuring’ it!

  Further Update: So I have had the Dell Mini for about erm, wow nearly 12 months! It would never work with LogMeIn over the Three dongle. To be fair Three were very helpful, until we took the dongle out and successfully used it in another one of my computers and were able to connect on LogMeIn without any problems, at this point they referred me to Dell, at which point I lost the will to live!

  It is all to do with one of the browser settings, not remembering itself when you tick the check box and hit Apply. I can’t remember which one it was now, and maybe ie 8 will have fixed the problem or it might work on Mozilla browser instead, I just never got round to trying to sort it out again and tend to use the Mini more now to read the news in bed with my cup of tea in the morning.

  It is too small to use for really extended periods but it is great for checking your email when you’re out and about, or for a quick impulse surf when you’re watching tv and you want to remind yourself what other films that actor or actress was in for example!I don’t know much about lcd monitors but i reckon if you connected one to this externally it would work great.

  It’s a cracking little machine though and also works quite well down the pub, because I can even fit it in the pocket of my big coat, and that is proper cool, except it doesn’t like beer puddles much so I tend to avoid taking it most of the time, unless I know I’m going to need to log on, but then the pub has got a sexy new Mac which is already covered in beer so I prefer to use that (any excuse to get behind the bar really!)

  In summary though it has not had any hardware reliability issues since the initial replacement was received. On the whole I have found that Dell kit tends to be pretty reliable anyway, especially when you are dealing with the more business based items whereas this is obviously more consumer focussed. With a Dell or most new PC’s if they are going to breakdown they will usually do so within the first 6 months of use and generally after that they will keep going until recommended service intervals such as changing the disks after a couple of years and that kind of thing.

  It should be pointed out though that these mini Dell laptops/netbooks, call them what you will, do not having a regular hard disk drive inside them. A normal hard drive has a disk inside it that physically spins round and a ‘head’ which moves backwards and forwards over the sectors quite like the relationship between the stylus and the tracks on an old fashion vinyl record !

  The hard drives within the Dell mini, and other netbooks too I should image, are solid state, that is to say they are rather like USB flash drives or memory keys. In fact I think from a picture I saw they look more like RAM memory chips all joined together than a single physical device. The advantage of using solid state memory over traditional hard drives is that they use less power, they are not as heavy and they are quieter.

  My Dell Mini is blissfully quiet in comparison to any of my other computers, desktops or laptops. Although if you are super-sensitive to sound like I am then you can notice a very slight hum or whine when you give it something to do that requires it to access the hard drive. Most people probably will never hear this but if you are familiar with the faint hum from your mobile phone charger or other devices of that ilk that transform power from one state to another then you might know what I am talking about. It certainly isn’t a problem though, although the power adapter for the machine itself does make some odd noises if you listen to it closely.

  My favourite aspect of this machine is that in some it elicits the same response as having a small puppy or kitten out and about with you, especially down the pub where if you get it out to a bunch of girls you can hear the ooh and ahhh’s of girls who think something is cute! That is priceless!

  Supporting A Panic Attack Sufferer

  main No Comments

  It can be very frightening to watch someone have a panic attack. You will normally feel very helpless, and it can be extremely frustrating not to be able to help someone who appears to be in obvious distress. This is especially so if the person who is afflicted with the panic attack is someone that you love or care about.You may have noticed their panic symptoms before, but have never witnessed an attack in person. This sufferer may or may not be going to anxiety therapy, and if they are not, their attack could be more severe.

  How you react can have a great impact on the sufferer. You will want to be cautious about either alleviating or aggravating the situation. In a lot of cases, an observer may be less than sympathetic. It is easy to get irritated, and try to convince the sufferer that they are being irrational. This is especially so if there appears to be no clear cause for the panic attack. Unfortunately, this is one of the worst reactions you can have. Making the sufferer feel as if they are being irrational will only make them feel more shame and anxiety. Sympathy doesn’t help much either, as it also tends to result in feelings of embarrassment or annoyance from the sufferer. Just the fact that you are there to witness this occurrence is greatly distressing to them.

  The best thing to do is to stand aside patiently and wait for the panic attack to subside. Only if you feel that the situation has become life-threatening or dangerous should you call an ambulance or seek medical assistance. Never administer prescription medication to someone who is having a panic attack. This will not calm them down, and there is nothing you as an individual can to do help them.

  A lot of panic attack sufferers resort to substance abuse to get a grip on their overwhelming feelings of anxiety. This is something that should always be monitored. Depression is common amongst panic disorder sufferers too, as it accompanies the feelings of helplessness and fear. If you notice that your loved one is becoming depressive, or appears to have formed a dependency on illegal or legal drugs, then it is time to intervene.

  *Disclaimer: This posting is based on information freely available in the popular press and medical journals that deal with anxiety.

  Ways of Paying for Health Insurance

  main No Comments

   

  When it comes to health insurance, many people don’t exactly know everything that there is to know about the subject. That only stands to reason, it is not something that is easily understood because of its complexity. For instance, when you visit the doctor you may be asked to pay something that is called the “co-pay”, and other times you may not have to do anything at all depending on your plan. Let’s look at some of the ways that health insurance is paid for.

  Often times, your employer will sponsor your insurance and you only have to pay what is known as a “co-pay” or co payment. The co-pay is a set amount that is determined by your insurance company when you receive covered services. This is a significantly smaller fee than you would be paying without the co-pay. Many companies offer this type of payment option because it is easier on the employee to pay this way.

  You may consider opening what is known as a Healthcare Savings Account (HSA). This will assure that you always have a location in which to retrieve payments for various medical expenses. The HSA is a pre-tax savings account where a portion of your pre-tax income, determined by you, is deposited into an account automatically. Since this account comes from your paycheck pre-tax, that means it will lower your overall taxable income. This means you are saving money in terms of taxes and saving lots of money towards your overall health care costs.

  For certain disabled individuals and those above the age of 65, Medicare is also another way to pay for health insurance. While they will not pay all of your healthcare expenses, they will pay for most of them. Medicare, however, doesn’t cover prescription drugs and nursing homes. It is important that you check the different types of restrictions that may apply. There are low-cost prescription discount cards that have been proven to save people who require costly medications on a regular basis over 50% of what they would have been paying without any health care.

  Paying for health insurance doesn’t have to be complicated as long as you understand just what is going on in terms of where you stand with your plan. Discuss any questions you may have about the plan before committing to one. While one plan may be right for many people, it does not always mean that it will fit your specific needs.

  Exactly Why Is An All-Natural Colon Detox Essential?

  main No Comments

  Organic and natural colon cleaning will be able to liberate probably many years of semi-solid, harmful fecal material build-up.

A few other indicators include headaches, psychological together with actual physical sluggishness, joint pain, unhealthy skin tone as well as restless sleep.

  Impacted fecal build up can be quite wide-spread of late since many individuals still do not have adequate dietary fiber and h2o in their diets. Contaminants may well develop through eating habits which contain caffeine, deep fried foodstuffs, meats, coke, refined sugars and refined flour. Genuine colon cleaning treatments have the herbal plant compound, psyllium in either seed or husk version. Psyllium by natural means soaks up h2o and swells our digestive tract to eliminate toxic compounds.

  Just What Exactly Will Be The Benefits Of Making Use Of a Colon Cleanse Free Trial?

  Considering the fact that purely natural herbal bowel cleanse remedies make use of full-strength herbs like psyllium together with plant based treatments and not synthetics, the entire body responds naturally to the supplements.

There are many products available in the market for people who wish to combat this problem, but how effective are they? The sad fact is that the majority of them simply do not work. They in fact can even damage the hair more and cause skin problems. Some even cause erectile dysfunction.

  For some, it could be iron deficiency, or excess production of DHT in the body and another option is the thyroid not functioning properly. For everyone, hair is an indicator of how healthy they are and how hygienic they have been. If a person walks into the office without combing their hair, it reflects badly on their character. Their hair would also be lacking in the necessary minerals and vitamins. These days, people go in for coloring their hair, and if this is done too many times, or using harsh coloring dyes, it will make the hair dry and brittle, which would lead to hair loss. The safest way to keep your hair in good clean condition while helping your hair loss is by washing withdht blocker shampoos.

  Obtain the Rewards that Come About From Your Kid Taking Piano Instruction

  main No Comments

  The 1st benefit is the fact that studying any skill teaches self discipline and self denial.  Your youngster must remain willing to sacrifice a certain amount of free time to be able to participate in the daily practice sessions or training required.  This helps them understand that virtually any plan worth reaching is worth working toward.  It is perhaps in the act of building competency on the piano or some other task that they gain a work ethic that will aid them nicely in later years.

  The next benefit is that it will help a child to set long and short term objectives and persevere to accomplish them.  Once the young person attains some short term objectives, he is inspired to carry on the work needed and attain yet higher objectives.  If your child can look behind them to see how far they’ve already progressed, it might probably motivate them to imagine the future and picture the day when they’re a proficient pianist.

  The mastery of a new competency similar to this would give a child confidence and as a result develop an improved perception of self esteem.  While he goes through life he will surely encounter a task which unfortunately he really doesn’t have inherent aptitude for.  While in these instances if he can recall that there’s a skill in which he has achieved a lot of know-how that maybe those around him don’t possess, is likely to offset thoughts of inferiority.

  An extra advantage of piano training or extracurricular lessons of some kind is that this enlarges his or her world.  Acquiring music instruction may give them an appreciation of music outside of the music their friends listen to.  It can lead to piano recitals and related pursuits where by they are able to converse with children having similar passions.  Youngsters will often squander a lot of time glazed out in front of the computer playing video games.  The engagement in an endeavor like piano lessons could possibly boost their contact and interaction with the outside world.  There are a number positive reasons indeed for a child getting lessons of some sort.

  Diet to Lose 10 Pounds

  main No Comments

  A diet is a prescribed selection of foods meant or intended to help you stay healthy or lose weight. People go looking for the best diet supplement because they want to get rid of some pounds, or need to feel better about themselves. There are very many types of diets available and recommended; however, some of them can be too harsh to be healthy. One diet that sounds pretty acceptable and offers you some freedom of choosing what to eat is one that we will call the lose 10 pounds diet.

  Basically, if you want to lose 10 pounds, diet is a necessity besides sports. But this diet that we recommend suggests that you reduce or stop eating certain things that lead to weight gaining. To begin with, no more bottled dressings for the salads. Scan the label of such products and see how many calories they contain, this will surely convince you to give it up. Do a bit of research concerning calories and the way they work. The best fat loss diet program would give you the flexibility to eat what you like in moderation as long as your weekly calorie intake promotes fat loss.

  Another tip is to avoid chocolate. If you cannot do without sweets then go for such alternatives as jelly, hard candy and sweet fruit. Yet, even if you can have some of these, keep them under control in order to stick to the lose 10 pounds diet. Four or five candies per day will do.

  Here’s a quick tip - EXERCISE! Get a fat loss workout like combat the fat and stick to it for 8 to 12 weeks. You won’t regret the results.

  It’s become a habit to avoid fat meat and this is great. However, when it comes to chicken, we seem to forget to remove the skin before eating or starting to cook it. Chicken skin can bring lots of extra calories. Moreover, we tend to buy a great deal of canned food and to give you an example, canned corn is sold well by supermarkets. A better option offered by the lose 10 pounds diet is the corn on the cob which has about half less in terms of calories if you were to eat exactly the same amount as you do with the canned type.

  Other things that need to be avoided if you go for the lose 10 pounds diet are peanut butter, mayonnaise, pies, cookies, fat fruity yogurts, fried foods, salted peanuts, cream and so on. The diet in itself is not harsh. It causes one you to eat healthy things while also encouraging one to drop anything that is bad for the metabolism. If you want to lose 10 pounds, diet plans are plentiful, but I think the one suggested here is a bit more lax and realistic.
