That's not what Apple argued. (Time was, smoking in the machine room was a firing offence; sometimes a firing-with-contusions offence.) Apple argued that the substance in the laptop was a biohazard, the substance was added by the user, and that they weren't equipped to deal with it. Since all are absolutely and entirely facts, it's going to be tough to argue the point in court. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
