Pardon the interruption ...

I apologize for the interruption on the blog and my email newsletter ET News, but my laptop died, again.  It seems that I can only get about 2-3 years out of a laptop anymore, probably because of all of the travel that they have to endure. This time I got a more robust model, the Alienware M18X, which weighs a ton but if it lasts longer it will be worth the extra effort.
