Acer Support Sucks

Agh, Acer support is terrible! This is the fifth or sixth week after I have sent away my laptop for repair (of what I think is a issue with their software).


Start, Week 1: Sent away Laptop
End, Week 1: Rang Acer, they claim they JUST recieved the Laptop. Fair enough.

End, Week 2: They were still "repairing" the Laptop.

End, Week 3: The Laptop had reportedly finished being repaired and was being sent back to me.

End, Week 4: After 4 weeks of being "repaired" I was told for some reason the Laptop was in transit overseas for reasons unkown.


It's been a further two weeks now since I last rang, i'm starting to think they've lost the Laptop or simply don't care; Beware Acer products, if they break or are damaged then you've just wasted your money. Avoid.

Would you like a cup of Java with your NetBeans?

The Netbeans 5.5 CD I ordered a few weeks ago has now arrived.

Shame it doesn't include the JDK alone with it; All the differing versions of Java are somewhat confusing.
Should I download JDK6 which seems to be the stable version with development having ceased.
JDK7 which appears to be the new version.
Or OpenJDK which doesn't seem to actually be a JDK but rather just javac and the Java Virtual Machine.

I ended up deciding to go with JDK7, shall update after the download (30MB .jar file).
