the 9400, and more recently,
laptops with brushed-aluminium cases, such as the XPS M1330 and XPS M1530.
The reports have caused some alarm, coming after incidents such as
batteries overheating and catching on fire. Dell recalled 4.1 million
laptop batteries because of such risks in 2006; other major laptop
makers, such as Acer, Lenovo and Toshiba, also recalled batteries.
In a knowledge base article published on Wednesday, Dell assured
acknowledged that "a tingling sensation may be noticed when connecting
devices to Dell notebook computers or printers and touching exposed
metal parts of the devices being connected or the parent device", but
denied that the "tingling sensation" is cause for alarm.
The jolts reported by some users are due to an electrical potential, or
voltage, between exposed metal parts of the laptop and the earth,
according to Dell. But this voltage can be found in any electrical
device powered by an AC adapter without an earth.
"The voltage does not present any risk of injury to the user," the
company said.
Earlier this year, users began noticing the voltage issue with Dell 9400
laptops. Other Dell users have reported the same issue with notebooks
such as the XPS M1530 and other notebooks with aluminium cases.
A voltage test by one user showed that the surface of the XPS M1530 was
giving off more than 100 volts of power.
Users have said they could also feel the voltage when connecting cables
or accessories.
Dell acknowledged that users might feel a "tingling sensation" but said
that the voltage is harmless.
"If conditions are right for the human body to be more conductive, such
as having wet hands or standing barefoot on a concrete floor, the
probability of sensing the tingling (electric current) increases," Dell
said in the knowledge base article. "It is recommended to unplug the AC
adapter from the parent device before attaching any cables or
accessories, as this reduces the possibility of experiencing the
tingling sensation."
Some users who have complained of the tingles or shocks have been
supplied with a three-pronged - that is, earthed - power adapter, which
solves the pr

support
channels. I bought a package deal about mid last year, and I still have no
relief on getting giga to work. I bought into a hardware packaged soft deal
and got the upgrade. The package didn't include serial/key info, and they
tell me they can't help me at support because I have no key/serial.
Nice job guys :/

It's nice, except for the crap that passes for air 'round here.
Wanted to share the secret for finding great food in a
strange town:
Pull off, go to the city center, ask a cop.
A Sargent, no less, directed us to some of the best vintage-
style mexican (you know the way they used to make it
before it became trendy?) I have EVER eaten.
It's in Indio. If you are ever

They do have the much touted Neve pickup system, which has been well
reviewed.
You might also look at the Taylor model that is a hybrid
acoustic/electric. If you are using it live, then this might be a good
choice. Very playable and sounds pretty decent in both acoustic and
electric modes, although

That's true, used one many times, but not for your run of the mill TV work.
They're used mainly in Film drama and some commercial work.

manufacturers. Shure has been lobbying quite heavily to prevent this.
Even Broadway and Hollywood have gotten into the act. The pro audio
industry is so tiny, that it doesn't have the clout to do anything about
it. Companies like Verizon (currently a husge problem for RF mics) will
probably buy the band. Sennheiser has recently announced that they will
only make 700MHz range wireless now by special order. That means they
are losing their "C" and "D" wireless ranges.
Get ready to buy more mic cable...

What I don't dig is not being able to use something I paid
for... you should file a complaint with the consumer fruad
division of the Attorney General's office in whatever state
their US headquarters is located in - include a picture of the
software CD and/or box... that way you can prove right off the
bat that you're not someone with hacked piece of warez...
you've got a legit version. Let the government do the heavy
lifting for you. Do the same thing with the Better Business
Bureau in that city - they have no enforcement capabilities, but
they'll get SOMEONE on the phone to help you, i'll bet.

>Once again, thanks to all for the contributions...
All this dialog has given me a wicked idea: instead of shelling out almost
$3K on a Taylor, I could get for roughly the same amount both a decent
Breedlove chosen mainly for its acoustic properties, *and* a Variax 700 for
live playing where a "reasonable" substitute is good enough.
But I read some comments on the Variax that make me nervous - I cannot find
a Variax locally, and may have to (gulp!) mail-order one. The comment in
question comes up frequently in various review databases, and goes along
these lines: apparently, the Variax 700 has a significant deficiency in the
sustain area (enough to be considered an unacceptable compromise by several
reviewers).
So Jamie (and anyone else who "believes" in the Variax): did you find such a
flaw in the Variax's sustain? How usable is it really? And (as an add-on
bonus question) how convincing and artifact-free are the altered tunings?
Would you trust it enough to buy one via mail order?
Thanks to all again,
Dan
