A little historical note.  In the 1990s. when Apple had a similar  
notebook problem -- Powerbooks caught fire and damaged the company's  
reputation at the time -- the problematic Powerbook acquired a funny  
nickname inside the company:  "The Hindenbook."  Inside of Apple, I  
was told at the time (thought it may be only part of the Apple urban  
legend), the code name for the follow-on laptop model was "The Apology."
