Dude, you’re getting a Dell

I just cannot make news like this up. I just finish posting about Russia's offer for us to use their radar and now I read that they are accusing NASA of damaging their computers with the new power array the shuttle crew installed on the space station. Only in the depth of space, can one small incident destroy a space station and possibly force the crew on it to return to Earth.

Perhaps they should have upgraded the hardware long ago, maybe Dell can offer them a good deal and the shuttle can deliver them on the next trip, if there is a next trip.

We could even get the old Dell spokesperson out of retirement, college, probation or wherever he is to call Putin and scream, "Dude, you're getting a Dell!

One would assume that a space station would have controls in place to handle little things like magnetic discharges, electrical fields and all that cool high tech stuff, but we have to remember that it was built by the lowest bidders and that may have cost a few more million bucks or so.

Whenever I read about the space station, I always envision that scene from the Brice Willis film, Armageddon where we see a beat up, run down station manned by one very lonely Russian who beats the hell out of the equipment to make it work. Little did I know that that was very near the truth to what is still circling the Earth.0

Perhaps it is time to build a new and improved station, one with better computers, if nothing else, maybe Putin can go to his nearest Russian rent to own and get a few new computers for the station, if they will even rent to them.
