This is an snippet from the ABC show The Chaser – War on Everything in Australia. The full version can be downloaded via their website and podcast.

My old laptop had a red dot….I got so used to using it(instead of the touch pad) that I really would like to have it on my soon to be new laptop.
Are there any Laptops that come with this option?
Technically, it’s called a "TrackPoint", trademarked by IBM, though it’s commonly known as "pointing stick". Other makers have other names for it, as they don’t want to use the IBM trademarked name.

Lenovo, which took over the IBM Laptop business, still makes some models with it.

Right now almost everyone knows that windows 7 is going to come out on October 22nd. But when will the Laptops come with it integrated?
So far I’ve seen that most computer brands offer you the opportunity to upgrade your vista but since I’m planning to buy a new one it don’t mind waiting until they come with it already installed.
Windows 7 will be preloaded onto computers on October 22nd. For more Windows 7 information head to http://www.windows.ca

I noticed that my old Laptops battery didn’t hold it’s charge anymore. It would have to be plugged in the entire time otherwise it would shut off and die right away.
With my new laptop, I want to make sure that its battery will hold it’s charge and last longer than my older one. What steps should I take or what should I do to make sure it will last?
Never leave the battery in your laptop when it’s fully charge and hooked onto the wall.
Once the battery is fully charge, take it out of your Laptop unless you are going to power your laptop with it.
Try to always wait until the battery is low to recharge it as you will minimize the number of cycles (charging and discharging). laptop batteries have a limited number of cycles before they don’t hold a charge.

Without a cooler, my laptop heats up in an hour. Other Laptops I’d seen don’t. Is there anything I can install inside the Laptop to prevent the heat to build up? That way I don’t need to bring my cooler around.
Do you have an older model laptop? If so, most older models have overheating issues. They have several built-in fans to disperse heat away from the CPU (processor).

I have a house computer and a laptop. The internet goes to my computer to router to laptop. I am getting rid of my computer and getting another Laptop…so how will the internet go to both my Laptops, withouth the house computer?
I am guessing your modem connects to your desktop using USB and that is why you dont have the modem connected straight to the routers WAN Port.
If your modem can use a ethernet cable then connect it staright to the router and setup the router to connect to the internet. If the modem only uses USB then you will either need to connect it exactly how you have it now or get a modem that can use a ethernet connection.
