If you have the old firmware you will not see the battery type you have. It is not until you update your firmware that you will see that on the about screen.

About 6 years ago a place i worked looked at these and a few other brands. They were using tough books but needed something more. We were looking to buy in a quality that got vendors out in person and let us do the stress test. If i remember correctly the Xplore was throw through a truck cab and into corner of a curb and the only that thing broke was the stylus. we also threw it into a fountain and it worked and the drop from the hood and roof of the truck. This was with a spinning disk and no SSD at the time they also offered a GPS pod. the QA and the accessories was a little lacking. we got a keyboard/dock that had a keyboard with no Q and 2 B's (You can't spell QA without a Q)
I think the issue with selling the old item is getting the clearance to replace a "good part" where it has not triggered an alarm for being bad. I am sure they would have to jump through a lot of hoops to replace parts on a working network if there is not alarm even if there is redundancy in place to not notice you taking something down to replace it. Again you still end up where those S/N get traced back to Verizon when someone calls support on them. My guess is it was easier not to have to fight the red tape to pull the "bad" part and the replacement part had factory seals on it still and was more valuable. However having the bad S/N's still is service will get you when they do go bad and you have to replace something that has been already replaced at that point people started to look deeper.
I had that happen to but I had the protection plan. I had a receiver replaced under that plan and my contract grew 2 years because of that. When to cancel and they said i was still under contract. Talked to a lot of reps and seemed like someone was going to waive that till collections called. At that point the could pound salt. i think we still gwet calles from them over that.
those were the DEC boxes I think they were 166 Mhz Alpha's and they shipped with NT Alpha which was pretty much worthless unless you really liked to re-compile all programs. and didn't need support past SP4. so most boxes ended up with Linux pretty soon. Didn't Slashdot run on one in the early years?
if you are doing it the cheap way some people have suggested by just putting the cable in the ground with the pizza cutter device you might want to run the 2nd cable another path just it case a lawn mower or something kills them both in one shot.
Last February I was in the airport taking the train between terminals and there was one selling video iPods and such right before you took the escalators down to the train didn't see the prices but they had a lot of other things in there too but the iPods kind of stood out.
You ever get the feeling that we are on the receiving end of someone that got tired of playing Sim City and is now just unleashing disasters and seeing what will happen.
As hote to ESPN. They stopped streching the no HD programming to 16:9 it is now croped with a HD logo on the sides. They have added more HD programming by doing sportscenter in HD and some of their other shows.
That scene worked out great for me. The first time I saw it I had to make a quick trip to the bathroom and by the time I got back it was still going on and I didn't miss a thing. I had a feeling when the scene started it was going to be long and i would not miss anything too intresting. I kind of lucked out by it being that long.
As someone who just had Unisys install an ES7000 with Datacenter and talking to the install people. You can do anything to the box that dose not touch the kernel. How Unisys explained the 5 9's SLA is that they will have a copy of you set up and will apply patches to them before they are installed on your system, but I cases like code red they will issue them to you and put it on the test server to test. They aren't going to keep you from installing a critical hot fix but when possible they will test it before they unleash it upon you.
One way to take care of this is to have distribution closets and only patch from the switch to the patch panel outlets that are used and not patch to ports that are not being used. This also means the distributions closets are locked. If your closets and computer room are not locked you are just asking for this kind of thing.
The neon lights are all nice and stuff but what happens when you have a black light neon light and some nice boards with an EPROM chip on it when it erases it?

Soon we will have a new app from them called Lawyerville!

I want to see a red ring of death on a phone.

I seem to remember that this is where patent trolls are born. Wonder what they did to make this judge unhappy.
Ever notice that the Ford Bronco was replaced with the Ford Escape?
Careful where you swing that thing.
Not to mention February is sweeps month too.
He removed the cover and battery. Replaced it and it booted up again.
Ah yes I think you are thinking of Mad Movies.
Try southeast Florida where is only Comcast and AT&T guess you get to chose 150 or 250 Meg

If MS made watches the stopwatch would say 15 seconds left for 2 minutes and then jump to 30 seconds left.
Or Ford have a fuck2600.com going to GM and then have GM have a fuckford.com goto 2600
Or OS/2...
