The Linux Experiment

I think I'm going to delete my Linux partition and try again later when I have more time to play around with it and fix some of the problems I'm having. That's one good thing about Windows--it's a little more user friendly to people who aren't familiar with hand coding.

Wiped out my Dell, now in the process of reinstalling everything.

The Dell laptop is HOT. Very hot. I measured it a couple of days ago and it was at least 108 degrees F. I don't know if it was hotter--the thermometer wouldn't go any higher.

I did some research on it, and found out that other people have the same complaint. He called Dell, and they told them that being able to fry an egg on your laptop case is normal. I beg to differ, and so did he. He was offered 15% store credit by Dell, but called Better Business Bureau and got a whole refund. I'd like to get a whole refund, but our BBB is nothing but an answering machine so we can register complaints. No human connection. So we'll see what happens.

I'm hoping to put everything on my Toshiba in the meantime, but I had the great idea of formatting that one at the same time and taking the test Linux partition off that at the same time. Unfortunately, when I did, I must have deleted something necessary for Windows, because I keep getting a GRUB error when I try to isntall. I tried using the install disks that came with it, neither time worked. Tried putting Linux on its own, and that didn't work. So I'm trying an XP upgrade CD I got for my mother's computer, and I'm hoping that will work. I'm not very optimistic though.

Update: It's allllliiiiiivvvveeeee!
