    I have one of those that I had picked up for my one daughters inspiron 1501. she killed that computer (hence the parts i have laying around) and I gave her a dell latitude c840 which she also killed.
    I did not replace that one....lol. I have kept the charger around as a back up for my wife's latitude d420. If you need one let me know.

    Sure got that right. It's designed to keep you on the system and encourages you to dig yourself deeper in the hole.

    Amazon has them.


    You won't find a genuine OEM replacement for that price but you will find a third party one. They are every bit as good.

    I bought a DC adapter for my Macbook for about $18 from Amazon. You can buy PC AC adapters for about $6-$10.

    I always like to buy a DC adapter for any laptop I own. It always comes in handy! If you just left the house and realized your laptop isn't charged, just plug it into the cig lighter and you get enough juice by the time you reach your destination.

    Bitch soccer mom situation aside, day care isn't that bad.

    Our kids go to day care and they are VERY good with them. Even taught us a few things.

    The day care staff don't just sit around while the kids run around. They do activities with them and teach them stuff. They also get to socialize with other kids (not that it's a problem for our three) and do useful activities. To open a day care in many places you have to get a license and undergo training. In the city ACS licenses the day care centers and they run routine audits.

    You know that is a load of crap.It's designed for short term relief and that is what the majority of cases turn out to be. The problem lies not with welfare but with the unstable job market. Most people who move from welfare to work end up in unstable low level jobs that don't last long.

    Maybe they just didn't manage their assets correctly. You know, personal responsibility and rugged individualism.

    I can tell you've never been to daycare! I went in the 60's and it was hell! Forced to play with other children. Forced to drink Kool-Aid and eat Baloney Sammitches. Forced to stand around the pick-nick table and listen to the Beatles on an old record player....and let me tell you, if you start singing along to 'I want to hold your hand" the gal running the record payer will shut it off which leaves you singing....to nothing. Christ that was embarrassing! And things on the property that could hurt you! We had a VW beetle with no seats, steerung wheel or tires setting on the ground...how in the hell was I s'posed to drive that? And they would beat you when you get caught looking up the little girls dresses......not even considering that I was only 6 and didn't know what I was looking at, only knowing I wanted to look... How can THAT be a punishable offense?

    Yeah, I enjoyed myself at Day Care.........These are fond memories and I still wonder what happened to the pretty girl named Lisa...
