Well, I'd call this a manufaturing defect, and try to get the warrinty if it was still viable.

That statement puzzled me as well.

Were you saying that you plugged your pc with the wrong AC voltage or the right one? I believed most (if not all) European countries use 220~230. Is Dutch any different?

How could it have been on 115? And don't you have any power-point protection?

you may all be interested to know that i have just obtained two copies of speech recognition software. I'll try them out here before and after i have "trained" them. Lets see if it can handle a New Zealand accent!! (for those of you who don't know what a NZ accent is like, think of a cross between south african, and Australian. No, it can not get any worse
