So let me see if I get this straight. Western Digital sold disk drives that they tagged as 80 GB. They used 1,000,000,000 bytes per GB instead of the binary number. Somebody got confused and decided to sue. The plaintiff gets $1000 and the lawyers get up to $485,000 plus expenses. Can we say "ambulance chasers, 21st century style"?
Rex BTW, I have one of these too, but am not going to be going for the remedy. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ed Finnell Sent: Monday, June 26, 2006 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Western Digital Loses Class Action-Reply by July 15th for remedial action. _http://www.westerndigital.com/settlement/_ (http://www.westerndigital.com/settlement/) Got me a couple or three of these puppies..... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
