Huh???? Defensive aren't we. No attempt was made, or is one ever made, to "lessen a reply". I was simply pointing out that HP (along with other computer manufacturers) don't make their own mobo's. I don't even know what any suit is about. If it is about mobo's, or bad caps therein, I find it strange that any suit would be against the PC makers and not instead against those that manufacture the mobo's (or bad caps). -Clint
Merry Christmas & God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Harris" Hi Clint and all, Even though none of the replys (including mine) have stated that HP manufactures mobos, I'm sure its interesting that HP and most all big name computer companies doesn't make their own motherboards. And they certainly don't make the capacitors that may have ruined many an otherwise fine mobo. Its somewhat less interesting that you should lessen my reply, even though its the only reply with a verifiable source mentioned. (Peter's reply is good too). Chuck From: "Support-OrpheusComputing.com" FYI, HP doesn't make motherboards. The boards in their PC's are made by motherboard manufacturers. :-) - -Clint - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Harris" < Hi Harold and all, Interesting; I was just reading Maximum PC today and it has anrticle mentioning HP in this vein. Page 20 of the December issue has two columns about a class action settlement against motherboard manufacturer MSI. Bad capacitors strike again! Anyway, the article mentions this: {Philadelphia attorney Johnathan Shub, who negotiated the settlement with MSI, told the Dog, "We have no indication as yet how widespread the problem is." Shub said he is also negotiating litigation against Soyo, Jetway, and Hewlett-Packard over the bad caps. He welcomes information from consumers regarding their bad capacitor problems at [EMAIL PROTECTED] }.
