A new class action against Apple

Definitely, the Apple lawyers are not going to be unemployed. They now will have to manage a class action concerning a well-known problem and that has been around for some length of time. It affects the G4 Powerbook 1,5 and 1,67 models where one of the two memory slots stopped working.
Apple launched a recall, but it only covered a fraction of the affected machines, leaving a significant number people out in the cold. One had hoped for an extension of this recall, but nothing happened.
This thus will have to be regulated in front of the court, a defeat of Apple will cost them dear, since they will be at least forced to repair the machines in question. We let to you imagine the logistic difficulties to have to exchange the mother cards before repairing them for new exchanges. It would be indeed be illusory to consider manufacturing them new, the parts like the processors and video cards belong to a previous era.
With the Airport Express base stations, the watercooling leaks and the lines on the iMac, this problem of slots belongs to the pile that has to be sorted out some time. However to regulate these problem, it will not make a big hole in their bank account which has more than 25 billion dollars.
