Guest guest Posted June 29, 2010 Report Share Posted June 29, 2010 I hate to say this because of the people here that the problem has hurt, but Dell deserves it for taking its business abroad. Actually, I remember my server techs telling me that they also had to replace their servers - and they were Dell. Imagine the poor suckers in Asia who work in those places. They must all be poisoned. I could tell you stories about people in the US who have been sickened working on this stuff. The manufacturers don't care so long as they make their profits.
