01/03/2006: Yet Another Reason NOT to Own One of Those...
...Wormy, Diseased Apple Computers -- which I kevetch about on occasion.
Mac OS X updates disable or damage PowerBooks?:"...we come to find out that another suit could be inbound with an open registration of complaints over what apparently occurs to some users when -- of all things -- they update to 10.3.9, 10.4.0, and 10.4.1: their PowerBooks' lower RAM slots go bad.
The current operating assumption is that the update actually makes the firmware controller or possibly the chipset get all wonky, which, in turn, may disable the lower memory slot (permanently). Has anyone out there in Engadget-land experienced this issue?
Besides airing those grievances in our comments, you can also feel free to air them to the complaints registration site, which may or may not at some point turn into a real life suit.
How ya like dem Apples?"
:-(
Bleh on that Steve Jobs and his Diseased, Wormy Apples.
