Laptop Fans

One of the fans on the back of my laptop has stopped. Anyone know anyone who might be able to repair/replace it locally? How serious is it? Dell will charge me immense amounts of money to fix it.

Oop I shouldn't have said "upgrading," I meant replacing with newer models. I've got one of the early generation Imacs, and a G3 powerbook (Wallstreet edition). I've alway bought used in the past and I'm looking forward to something new out of the box for the first time. It's probably more than I need but have you seen any reviews of the new Intel powered macs?

Why are you people having a MAC conversation on my blog?!!?!?!?!

Damnitall you people.

It's a subtle attempt to lure you away from the dark side, and get you to take in stray cats ;-)

I tried to buy a MAC. It was going to cost me 1200$ more for a comparable system with a comparable warranty. I was willing to spend a bit more, but not that much. And it's not like MACs don't break too, they are just prettier, less virus prone, and you have to wait longer for games to come out on them.

I always check macintouch.com first.

I'd also wait a bit until they've got the bugs out.

You'll also eventually have to upgrade your 3rd party software.

Oops, I'm doing it again! Sorry, David!
