..and this year its the iCook


on a more serious note I am sitting here waiting for my girlfriend's  
notebook to  have a similar recall. And no it's not a Dell nor an  
apple.  How many other companies used the same battery packs?  To be  
fair to the company I won't mention any names.  After all, it may be  
suitable for cooking bacon for reasons totally unrelated to the  
current recall?

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."
