" They received a shipment of 4,000 DELL PCs and after installing them in a few locations,
they immediately noticed there was a problem....
EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THOSE PCs WERE MISSING A BIOS CHIP. Argggh...they had
to hire contractors to fix them(I'm positive DELL reimbursed them)

Oh well, probably someone fell asleep on the inspection line...it's all a part of being a
human, eh?"

This is NO production tests of 4000 PC by DELL, NO QA at DELL, etc...

Every PC should have 10+ test done and sample 1-3% QA tests.

Is it possible?
