Dell XPS M1710 gaming laptop

I bought a laptop last week, it's Dell XPS M1710, really cool.

The flashing lights looks like UFO in the dark, but lesser effect during the day. I think I am going to be used to it, and I really hate to waste electricity! But I didn't know how to configure the LED lights, so I did a bit search, and found this review.

Actually, the light colors are configurable with up to 16 color options for each light via a Dell included QuickSet program, so does other options include turning off. I found the program through start --> All programs --> Dell Quick set --> system --> gaming options, this let you select LED colors and intensity for the various LED zones.

Dell Quickset It's not easy to find the way here. And I couldn't completely turn off light on the keyboard, only thing I can do is turning it darker.

I only want the cool effects for some situations, bu I don't want to waste money through some redundants unnoticed.

My daughter's poem

My daughter Brenda is 3-year-old. On a Sunday afternoon, my hubby was mowing the lawn in our garden. Brenda was watching. Then the humming noise of the lawn mower stopped. When I went into the garden to line-dry my clothes, they were sitting on grass side by side.

"What are you doing?" I asked.
"chatting. Brenda is a poet!" my hubby said.

The following was what she said to her daddy:

It's a nice day
I like sunny day
I like rainy day
I like windy day
I like snowy day
I like stormy day
I like everyday!
