My very first consumer product recall!

It's like a rite of passage, or something. Apparently I have one of those batteries that spontaneously combust inside my computer. Dell's recalling and replacing them and for the time being I'm plugged into the wall.

If you've got a Dell laptop too, you may want to check your battery, if you haven't already. It's free family fun. Now to watch my mailbox. I love getting mail.

Apparently HP is recalling some batteries too, so you may want to check those too. I'm starting to sound like a PSA...
