Amazing that many people think "rip-off" right away when it could have been
an honest mistake. I guess a subject like "Dell repairs thousand of laptops a year and made a mistake with one" wouldn't be an eye catcher. Of course that's not to say someone wanted to steal some memory, but to put your job at risk for a small gain like that doesn't seem prudent.

Of course that's not to say someone wanted to steal some memory, but to put your job at risk for a small gain like that doesn't seem prudent. Have to agree here. The repair techs have such easy access to parts I doubt they'd have to steal anything let alone deliberately hide it by swapping a customers part. I'm sure that if this even happened the chip was simply a known good dimm used for testing/trouble shooting that was accidentally left in the system. No more no less. -- Rob Q: "What did the redneck say right before he died?" A: "Hey ya'all watch this!!" |

Seems like an honest mistake to me. I can't imagine anyone stealing a 256mb
dimm (and buying their own 128mb dimm to replace it). Only in the US would people jump straight to believing it was intentional. Tom "Acadia" wrote in message ... http://makeashorterlink.com/?G6D011F68 -- Have both a nice day and a happy life, Acadia. |

Only in the US would people jump straight to believing it was intentional. Tom I think the appropriate comment is: "Never attribute to malice what may be equally well explained by incompetence." No idea who said that originally; I've seen it attributed to everyone from the British WwII prime minister Winston Churchill to the American science fiction author Robert Heinlein. (As well as numerous variations on the same theme.) I've always liked the quote, though. Bob Pownall |

Of course, the common Dell heads go onto Dell defense mode.

Hey, I'm a patriotic American, but how else can you explain the number of
lawyers per capita that we have. "Pat Blank" wrote in message . .. "Tom Scales" wrote in : Only in the US would people jump straight to believing it was intentional.

It has nothing to do with Dell actually. Try to grasp the concept.

You honestly believe someone would risk their job by stealing a DIMM?
