There is no way it is worth $ 200 more than dell mini 9. The only way I would say that would be possible, is if both the boot up time and average rendering speed were a lot faster than dell mini 9.

Have you ever tried to log into a Windows computer for a few minutes and you finally realize that you forgot the password?

There’s a way to reset the password and it doesn’t involve reformatting and reinstalling Windows. The solution is called Windows Password Reset. It can reset almost all Windows passwords in seconds. If you want to know how to use it, please visit it http://www.resetwindowspassword.com

As someone who gets to compete against Cisco every day in the infosec space, I can't help but laugh at gaffs like this.

Yo decode...southwest flight to las vegas and on the way back to jacksonville FL had it too. they told us that it was experimental and would range in price from $2 to $12 depening on the length of the flight seeing as how yours is a longer flight then yeah thats why it would be $12. continue hacking the friendly skies lol.

Way too easy for them to forget...

Customer centric models that work, in my experience, are those that are driven from the top of the organization down. My credit union, and many of the companies that purchase from, are all customer centric. However, my bank, my insurance company, my government, my cable company and many others that I have to "contend with are simply in it for the money, not the relationship with the customer.

HP is doing some really strange things lately. I don't know if upper management transitions are leading the company astray or if they've reached critical mass and might have to suffer a Dell-like set back to right the ship.

Personally I've been really worried about Procurve as they are further integrated into the HP fold. The product line and offerings are still top tier but I've seen some of the same insanity when it comes to proposals or support.

It's funny how quickly companies forget what it takes to earn the trust of users and how easily this trust is lost.

Sure, but look at the DATE of the article, the Dell Mini 10 didn't exist.

As well, I've since purchased an eeePC 1000HE, and can tell you that it truly does have 7 hours of battery life.

It's quick, efficient, and very easy to work on, and I stand by my decision.

Take a look at the reviews of both the Dell Mini 10, and the Asus eeePc 1000HE at the following links: (Laptop Magazine online)

Dell Mini 10 - http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/dell-in...

Asus eeePC 1000HE - http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/asus-ee...

Worthy of note are the battery life statements, in the March 6th Review of the Dell, the 6 Cell battery wasn't yet available, and the 3 cell battery only gave 2 hours and 43 minutes of life.

The Asus eeePc 1000HE tested on FEBRUARY 9th, lasted 7 hours and 8 minutes.

It doesn't seem that Dell is doing any real engineering work to make a "better" product to me... If you release a product later to the market that doesn't have the same capabilities, or better, and are going to charge more for it, it seems like they're making an inferior product, and hoping you'll buy it simply because of their name.

Skulleria;

Thanks for the comments, we'll add it to the list. Many of us have used Whisper32 in the past, but agreed we switched to Keepass, since it's cross platform.

I hope that some others will like the HTML-Kit as well.

Thanks!

Helpful post! I use Whisper a lot:

and also I can't live without HTML-Kit http://www.chami.com/html-kit/
It is an editor for html and scripting I really like.
