# There was a tutorial I found on the net how to make fire-text
It works the same way if you use white airbrush too.
Black background, with white drawing on top.
Basically, rotate it, filter-stylise-wind it 2 or 3 times
Then gausian blur at about 3.
Then copy the layer and then ctrl-u, colourise, saturation at 100, colour at -38
Then copy that layer, set it to colour dodge, then ctrl-u and use normal settings but with colour at 45
Then just flatten the image and smudge the white for it to look like flames
Then copy the layer and set it to overlay.

# Dell US is about $170 for the limited warranty
but Dell UK wont tell me without emailing them for a quote. For actual systems they seem to match the dollar (ie a $1500 system costs £1500 bought here!) and I'm suspecting they'll do the same with warranties :/

# you have to take into consideration that
Dell are a difficult company to deal with. They will sell you a cheap item because it is bespoke manufactured and made from proprietary parts. They rely on you having no option but to return to them in the future for replacement parts. A small example is a motherboard in a desktop that a friend needed replacing. Dell quoted £230 for the board to be replaced and that it had to be done by their qualified staff.

I replaced the thing for £52 ( I did not charge labour but you get the picture ).

# laptop warranties are not worth taking out full stop.
After the manufacturers warranty has run out your machine is an old pile of junk and to pay rip-off subscriptions in the hope that if it does go wrong it will be fixed is ludicrous.
If it screws up, buy another because by the time yours is out of warranty the thing will be a dog.

plus the majority of failures are mechanical, and you can replace all mechanical parts yourself.

# I realise this
It's just a question of how much.

The reason people (myself) consider warranties is because it offers the hope of getting a precious resource fixed without added expense. My battery is currently fucked and it's most of the price of a warrenty to replace it anyway, it begins to be a gamble on whether there will be any further problems.

It might be a small amount of money relatively speaking, but it's a fucking lot when you're stuck trying to fix something you rely on so much and are too near a pay day that isn't going to make your bank account look much healthier anyway.

# Pasanonic is right
If your laptop has lasted this long the chances of anything going wrong in the next 12 months are small. Eventually it will fail but by the time it does you will have paid much more in warranties than the price of a newbie.

Batteries are another thing. I'm convinced they have a short built in obsolesence and you will probably find they are not covered anyway.
(I helped save b3ta! Mod Edit, Sat 29 Mar 2008, 19:57, archived)
# Aye
I also have that suspicion about batteries, but Dell US seem to think I can get it replaced once the existing warranty is transferred to the right country, I'm cynical but it's worth a try before I pay out myself

# I can find generic replacement batteries for just about anything
for a fraction of the manufacturers price.
I pay £24.99 for 3.0A batteries for my cordless DeWalt tools. De Walt want over £60 for 2.0A versions.

# batteries are often outside of the warranty.
just spew it and get another, seriously. 3 years warranty on an old machine will get you a new one. Friends here will help you move your material over without pain and you can buy a cheap housing and use your old drive as an external.

Having said that. I think laptops are ridiculous. I have a monster home network and my XDA. Beyond that is useless. My wife has a Macbook pro, which I believe was expensive. It has sat in a cupboard for at least 4 months because she can carry all her needed work around on a PDA and connect to the network with it if she needs more. my laptop serves as a coffee coaster these days.

I'll buy you a new one as long as you don't dip it in a lake and keep a proper external backup.

# I share Zoots feelings about laptops and warranties
just buy a generic battery, and keep the cash for the warranty in your pocket. If your laptops breaks, use the money to fix it. If it doesn't: profit!
