dolariWell, it's here. Latitude L400, 700MHz, 20GB. Very nice. Although it's not all peaches and cream. The Laptop was supposed to be shipped with a DVD, and instead was shipped with a CD drive. One quick call to the Dell Financial Services offices and a DVD drive is on it's way!
That's when I noticed the sound didn't work all that well. Actually, didn't work at all. So, I put my Dell Tech Support training to use. Plugged my headphones into the headphone jack, and lo and behold! sound! Coming out of the REGULAR speakers on the laptop...
...wha wha wha?
Then I noticed the jack was REALLY REALLY REALLY loose and it stopped working alltogether after a few minutes. SO I got to call...Dell TEch Support....
It's WIERD being the one on the other end of the phone....
So I called in, talked to an old cubicle mate of mine, who is still there, and am having the motherboard replaced on it sometime today (I hope).
Then I realized that the external DVD and Floppy drives were just "raw." They were the modules without the sleeve that was supposed to come with it. That's on it's way, too.
So, here I am, siting on the laptop, typing this all in...and it's been like Christmas Morning TWICE this month! :D
Bad thing about living the hours, I do - I'm sleeping on the couch yet again, so i can make sure to get the phone when the tech guy calls, and be around when the Airborne Express guy delivers the DVD drive.
Man this keyboard is tiny. :D
