AMD powered HP notebooks in mass shut down

Pavilions go on strike, randomly
By Adamson Rust, 21/05/2002 09:45:20 BST

HUNDREDS OF USERS are complaining that an HP notebook – the Pavilion n5470 has taken to shutting down without notice and throwing people's work into disarray.
One user who bought the machine told the INQUIRER today that he has a Pavilion and it randomly decides to go on strike at least 10 times a day.

Users who are up in arms have bombarded HP's business forums with complaints but the problem still appears to await resolution.

The first complaint started towards the end of last year, but there are still complaints being filed, with no apparent result.

Dan, <Maybe I'm wrong - but I was right about copper, right about Rambus, and right about Athlon back in 1999.>

But you were wrong about 3DNow, SSE, 8-way Athlons, Mustang, X-Box, Palomino, Northwood, 0.13u, mobile, execution, Sanders' pump-n-dump, and AMD's profitability.

Batting .200 doesn't cut it in the major leagues, pal.


It does if you can pitch! (Good post, though.)
