[ACFUG Discuss] Dell laptop battery recall
Figure I post this since several of us have Dell laptops. Dell is doing a massive recall of laptop batteries. Its the largest recall in consumer electronics history. To see if your affected simply go to following site.. http://www.dellbatteryprogram.com Apparently, its a batch of batteries they received form Sony and made in Japan that are at issue. These batteries have been known to catch on fire without warning which is a quick way to lose a laptop.

[ACFUG Discuss] FW: [ACFUG Announce] Microsoft Seeks Select Companies in Atlanta CFUG for Server Admin Usability Study
Title: Hi , Folks, I had posted this announcement last week on the announcements list, but I asked the Microsoft rep today and he said he'd not had any response yet. I would think someone in our audience would find this intriguing, and given the time-sensitive nature I hope you'll forgive me forwarding it here to the discussion list. /charlie http://www.carehart.org/blog/ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Charlie ArehartSent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 10:17 PMTo: 'ACFUG Announcements List'Cc: 'Eric Clausen'Subject: [ACFUG Announce] Microsoft Seeks Select Companies in Atlanta CFUG for Server Admin Usability Study Folks, I've received a special offer from Eric Clausen of the Microsoft Usability Research group in Redmond, WA, who has asked me to helphim find (from our user group population)a select set ofAtlanta companies to participate in a Microsoft Server Administration Usability Study. This is a unique opportunity to meet with the members of the Windows Server Team and influence the direction of IT server products. This is not a lab study but rather a site visit.They would like to meet with you at your place of work. For this phase of the research they're visiting only 8 sites nationally, before rolling out further studies later nationwide, so this is anexclusive opportunity. . I've asked for some clarification on the kind of company they seek, and they're looking for folks in corporate environment (not govt or non-profit), working for companies with 16-99 servers and 250-499 PCs which should reflect the company as a whole, not just the individual location. The Atlanta organization should be the headquarters for the company. Pleasekeep that in mind before contacting them. They're looking to do the studiesduring the first week in September, and in thanks for your time participants "will receive a retail software selection as a gratuity". Here aremore detail and the contact information (don't respond to the list or me). Windows Usability in Atlanta (September 5th-8th) Microsoft's Windows Server team will be conducting research in theAtlanta regionthe first week in September. The team would like to meet with IT Professionals at their workplace to observe the types of tasks they typically do in a number of areas including: Supporting users, Managing Clients, Managing their Network, Managing their servers, Monitoring their environment, Managing storage and backup, Managing their Printers and Print Servers, and Managing the security of their IT Environment. Their goal is to create a better model of customers from the perspective of the work they do and the goals they are trying to achieve; the Customer Model. This model will then be used to set user specific goals with regard to product deliverables for teams across Windows Server product line, and validate features against real world scenarios. This research will contribute to all Windows Server Product development by understanding how to better support the way organizations think about their work and perform their work with the tools they have today These efforts will also unify its management tools by providing insight in to the way IT Professionals integrate tasks now or would like to better integrate tasks and help identify how to make IT Management tools work more effectively to help IT Professionals be more productive This is a unique opportunity to help identify opportunities to innovate products to better support work IT Management practice. All participants selected for this research will also receive a retail software selection as a gratuity.
