Perhaps we should develop a PC tower with and integrated battery

have to sell it as a kit? They could assemble it themselves so they
could trust it.

They might just buy that :)

from what little direct exposure I have with lawyers (not privacy
freaks) that really sounds like something they added under the
thought process of over all eventualities. We've trained a whole
generation of lawyers to expect, no perhaps assume is the better
word, assume that end users are idiots and that a lawsuit can come
from anything. I am reminded of the old somewhat joke "read a warning
label, its there cause somewhere someone did that with the product so
they had to put in the warning label"
I could go on to wax eloquent on how this is the result of the death
of personal responsibility in our culture but then this might be a
longer email....
