Re: OT: please stop rehashing this old myth!!!

[David M. Ensteness]

Very true. Although, it is curious that in 1999 Dell had to recall all 
of their newest series of laptops because they used that same Sony made 
Li-Ion battery and one did catch fire in the field ... I guess Dell's 
QA isn't quiet as pre-emptive ... even after they watched the PR issue 
the 5300 battery caused. But, as has been said, when Dell screws up, no 
one cares.

Remember the PB5300 battery fire problems?
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! This was _NOT_ an issue with a production
Macintosh, so _PLEASE_ stop using it as an example of Apple's lack of
care for its customers. FYI, Apple's testing of pre-production units
equipped with (the then new-tech) LiIon batteries revealed the
possibility for said batteries to overheat and catch fire while being
charged. _NO_ PB5300 LiIon batteries were shipped to customers, proving
Apple's QA process at the time worked just fine. So _PLEASE_ just
stop-stop-stop using this example!!! Now about that iBook LB recall .
