Folks - please lay off all of the BMW (B*tchin' - Moanin' - Whining).
This notes file is DEPRESSING...
Digital is NOT the ONLY computer company having it's share of problems.
Let's stop shooting at each other and take aim at our competition.
Therefore, I declare this topic to report all of the problems
the other guys are having. Please join in with whatever items
you see in the media - and please report your sources.
