    VB.NET & Excel: please advise.

    Ok, fair enough. The reason that I would like to use excel is this: there are some mature "databases" out there (~250,000 entries) with the majority of the info I want, that are downloadable in the excel format. It would be nice to be able to populate my "database" with that information...

    dell vostro v13 speaker pop

    Staticz is right...use the warranty while its still good and send the F-er back to Dell. Speaking from experience, little glitches like this are often indicative of broader problems. Don't wait for it to become unbearable, or the inevitable failure right after your warranty expires. May be a...

    WTB: dell laptop MB or cheap laptop/netbook

    Yep, unfortunately for me my extended warranty ran out a full 13 days prior to the date on which I started experiencing the first symptoms of the defect. They should have extended them indefinately, IMHO.
