Problems with Dell Tech Support – Part 2
You can read Problems with Dell Tech Support – Part 1 here. So, my replacement Axim came, and I immediately noticed that the case had a couple of scratches. No big deal, I thought. I can handle that. But there are 2 small scratches on the screen, and I won’t accept that. I haven’t even …
Problems with Dell tech support – Part 1
This is going to be a long one… A couple of weeks ago, I noticed that there was a thin dark horizontal line on my Dell Axim x30. Because it was so thin, it wasn’t that much of annoyance, but it was definitely something wrong with the screen. It only was seen when the backlight …

Google sucking my bandwidth
I seem to be having my share of Google problems lately! I wrote a lengthy post about my problems with Adsense. There have been a few responses, but no one is really able to answer my questions. I’ve also been having a problem on my family website. Almost every month the Googlebot goes crazy and …
