That has been my experience with Toshiba too Jeff (the good ones, not those
Satellite's with the problem). And for the reputation for quality they have,
I agree. They could easily have replaced these outright and avoided the
lawsuit, bad press and ticked off owners. Not to mention all of the money
they have spend replacing mother boards, the warranty and service charges,
etc. Unreal...

> Toshiba Tecra A5-S116 Notebook

We have 2 Tecra M2V-S330 notebooks in use by outside sales reps and they are
fantastic.  As a food distributor, our reps make 15-20 calls a day and are
_very_ abusive on notebooks.  Recommend them highly.

OTOH we have a number of Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100 and they suck.  There is
a class action lawsuit against Toshiba on these, of which we are a part.
The system boards on these have all been replaced at least 4 times each, and
some as many as 9 times each.  I am not kidding.  Fortunately, we purchased
extended warranties thru Radio Shack and therefore Radio Shack is the one
losing their a**, not us.

Toshiba would be money way way ahead if they just bit the bullet and
replaced those laptops.
