Mac users: Although this article is about expoding batteries on Dell Notebook Computers, the problem is not limited to PCs... Mac Powerbooks and Macbooks have also been hit. See the photos and link at the bottom of the article that I have added. This is a cautionary PING!

If you want on or off the Mac Ping List, Freepmail me.

"...bullets zinged past..."
IIRC, they just pop, since they're not contained in a barrel and ignited with the firing cap to propell them. Anyone else want to comment on this? I could be wrong...

WoW! I was planning on getting a Dell Laptop, but now, I'm NOT going to get a Dell. I wonder what's wrong with those batteries to make them explode?

Thanks for posting this. Now I can prove to my husband that my Dell laptop does get too hot to hold and I'm not dreaming it up!
