Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, both in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC and in Windows Live on Hotmail, Calendar and People. I am currently a Principal Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Social Networking team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for delivering features to support our web and client applications. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

Ed Bott detailed his recent experience with his Shuttle PC. I had a similar problem a while back except, this happened right away, and I was able to return it to Fry's. I am not as patient as Ed, and would not have gone through all that before giving up.
Here is a great quote from my old post:
"Never buy a Shuttle PC. They are buggy, the BIOS releases are buggy, and if you read the release notes for the BIOS you’d understand. If you even read the forums for but a brief moment you’d come to the same conclusion."
Oh, and I will never buy a Shuttle PC. If you are building a PC yourself, you are better off getting a small form factor case (like the SilverStone SG01) taht can take a Mini-ATX motherboard. You will have a lot of selection to chose from any all standard components.
