Dell recalling 1 million power supplies

It seems Dell has shipped about a million laptop power supplies that can catch fire. Not good...

Check here to see if you are affected and to get a replacement if so.

"Every Dell is the Dell from Hell"

My former boss and a few other annoying people I know were in love with the damned things.
