Biometrics Software is not Working with PGP Desktop

That's the title of a Symantec KB article. It's true.  I got the biometrics software from Broadcom, which is supplied by Dell for their fingerprint reader on Latitude E6230.  Following the instructions here after a system rebuild due to a bad BSOD, I was able to get the biometrics set up and working (seemingly), or so I thought.  Then it broke down.  What happened was, when a fingerprint was scanned correctly, the fingerprint icon just disappeared from the login screen without letting me in.  It's almost hilarious.  So, having a full-disk encryption for now prevents me from using fingerprint as authentication. 

What's worth mentioning is that, before I had the fingerprint setup working, then had full-disk encryption retrofitted in, the fingerprint setup stayed working.  This time around encryption is in first, and they could no longer work together.

90W 9T215 doesn't charge E6400

That's right. So don't buy those P/N 9T215 generic replacements that claim to be Dell Latitude E6400 compatible. I tested original 9T215 on E6400s (not on purpose) and it just doesn't charge. BIOS says it's unknown adapter. Computer actually runs on A/C but battery doesn't get charged. Why? There must be love between the two for it to charge? It's enough to power the machine, it must be enough to juice up the battery. That's just annoying!
