I was warned not to go to Alpha, but I had them install some upgrade RAM in my PowerBook anyway, because they were nearby and what can go wrong with a simple RAM upgrade? They managed to blow my motherboard. They blamed it on "defective RAM" and dumped the whole thing back in my lap. Feh. (Fortunately, the PowerBook was still under warranty, and Apple replaced the motherboard, installed the "defective" RAM, and shipped it back to me for free. So the story has a happy ending. But it could have been a lot worse.) - David D. Levine, Intel Supercomputer Systems Division == davidl@ssd.intel.com "Fo'tunately, Ah keep mah feathers numbered, for just such an emergency."
