My neighbour recently bought a Micron Transport 1000 (http://www.mpccorp.com/smallbiz/store/notebooks/o verview_transport.html) because he liked the features...
Additionally, its wholly USA based (incl. customer service)... (this also probably influenced his buying decision)
After he had a faulty motherboard, I was asked to see if I can repair it... coz he is not into hardware..
I called their rep... Couldnt understand the strong 'chinese' or 'asian' accent...
I finally had to request her to hand the call over to somebody who speaks English with a an 'understandable' accent..
That is my experience...
TFA says The current travels through massive copper bus bars that are bolted together, but joints must be inspected regularly. Loose joints are a big problem.
I am no electrical techie... but why 'bars' of copper? Cannot DC be safely and efficiently transmitted with thicker 'wires' as opposed to 'bolting' bars together?
Hmm.. time to catch up on Electrical Engg stuff...
Doctors try to spend as little time as possible in a patient's room... especially the PCPs. I wonder how well the interface is designed for a doctor to 'choose' from a list of questions..
Probably the doctor can have a list of pre-prepared set of questions that deals with a particular problem / disease...
Although this can only work for patients with 'simple' problems...
A doctor who can speak the native tongue is still the best, though..
I have been using Google maps for some time... but I really love Map24 (http://www.map24.com../ It's a onestop shop for maps in USA, Europe, Brazil and the Middle East.
Although its java interface is a little 'heavy', its worth it...
Google maps have some routing issues as well... the routes are not always 'optimized'.
*peace*

I dont think he did anything wrong... he just documented what he observed.. AFASIK, there is nothing wrong with trying to email a javascript...

the Bose (http://www.bose.com/controller?event=VIEW_PRODUCT _PAGE_EVENT&product=wr_wave_index) WaveRadio...
For around $350 it looks like a better deal, since I can plugin the iPod into this too.. and get great sound...

Not surprising that it is very popular... If somebody comes up with a 'real' iPod killer, that will be the craze... Time to move on...!
I was waiting till today to get the 8700C (Free from Amazon, with contract)... guess i have to wait for a while longer...
