Law suit against Dell Computer

[Texas Mac Man]

QUOTE

After the math department at the University of Texas noticed some of its  Dell computers failing, Dell examined the machines. The company came up with a unusual reason for the computers’ demise: the school had overtaxed the machines by making them perform difficult math calculations.

Now ain't that rich!!!! What the hay are computers for?

I wonder what Michael Dell thinks these days after that comment he made several years ago that Apple should sell all their assets and return the money to their stockholders, or some such thing.

And look where Apple stock is today and Dell compared to what they were then!

I'm guessing that 2005 computers, mentioned in the article, are old enough to be retired to the old transistors home.  I think this is the oldest known Dell in a local computer museum:


After this we generally made S'Mores; must be careful in the future not to end up with molten marshmellow in my hair and ears:
