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. Jeff Porter (inuxd!porter) AT&T Consumer Products Indianapolis PS: The pascal operating system leaves many things to be desired.
