HP Forgets
 Get ready for some Blue Screens of Death you HP portable users! Hewlett-Packard sez it has about 900,000 notebooks out in the general population that could have memory problems. Figuring out whether or not your portable is on that short list will be a little like consulting a Quija board. The problem only occurs within a certain combination of Intel processors, chipsets, and memory module manufactures. Okay, but don't start yelling at HP. Dell had a similar problem four years ago --although it only affected 200,000 to 400,000 laptops.
(Do you see these numbers?! "Oh, it's just a little thing. Don't worry about it..." )
Click on the headline above to get to the ZDNet story this is from where you'll also find a list of probable notebooks affected and a lot of other hilarious stuff. --By Bill O'Brien
