hiya folks

does anyone remember hearing a story about a computer company ordering some
hd's from fujitsu I think it was. they ordered something like 10000 with up
to 3% failures. fujitsu gave them 10000 working hd's and 30 pre-broken ones
as a statement that they dont make stuff that fails?

I'm sure I remember reading something like that a while ago, if anyone has a
webresource for it or other similar stories in the next 24 hours I'd love to
hear them, I really shouldn;t leave these assignments to the last minute you
know... :) (in fact any decent articles on the bad quality of many computer
components would be helpful)

cheers
dave
