Tell us about yourself:
I moved to Alaska in 1974 and worked as a biologist during construction of the Trans Alaska Pipeline. After the pipeline was constructed I worked as a marine biologist protecting endangered whales during oil and gas exploration and development. I like almost anything to do with the great outdoors; fishing, camping, canoeing, hiking, berry picking, exploring new areas, and photography (I am a very poor photographer). After I retired from being a biologist I started and operated for 15 years a small home-based plant nursery and grew a wide variety of flowering perennials. I like to travel and have been in many far off places in the world.

Here's another update on my long running problem with Dell not honoring their warranty.  The Alaska Attorney General's office wrote to Dell several months ago.  Dell never responded.  The Attorney General's office wrote to Dell again on December 7 gi...

Thank you Eric.  I haven't selected an attorney yet but I'm looking for one.  I tried the bar lawyer referral service but none of the consumer law attorneys in Anchorage signed up with the referral service so I have to find a lawyer myself.  I recent...

Thank you for your comments.  I reported the warranty issue within 2 days after I received the computer.  Dell shipped the computer back to the Dell Technical Support Staff and they replaced the mother board.  That did not solve the problem.  The Adv...

Sorry I’m slow in responding.  I have a severe case of Willis Ekbom Syndrome, aka Restless Legs Syndrome.  I can’t work on a computer for very long at a time. As a paperweight the XPS is a little bulky but works fine.  It isn’t too heavy but heavy en...
