I hope someone out there at HP read the discussion on putting
RAMs in sockets on multilayer PC board about a month ago on
net.micro.  It started because someone from HP was complaining
about the Macintosh having soldered in RAMs on a Multilayer
board.  Talk about calling the kettle black.  My Series 200
model 16 (aka 9816) had a RAM failure four months into ownership
(I was very surprized to find out that the HP warrantee was only
good for three months) and I had to have the whole CPU board
replaced to the tune of some $500.  Even though I work for a
large company, I thought this price was alittle out of line.
If sockets would have been provided, my local hp service
department could have fixed it in no time.  BUT NOOOOOOOO.
