You made up 33,000 batteries were recalled

I PROVED from you own source, Macworld that the number was 1.1MILLION, that is a giant leap from 33,000

Actually to real number was closer to 2 Million.....

I am not the one using Alinsky tactics, Mrs. Hillary

No, I did not make that up. That was the number of Sony batteries recalled by Apple in the late 1990s. I did not link a source for that because I was using my own memory. Again, you are showing a problem with reading comprehension.

"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'," writes Tim Onosko in a submission to Dave Farber's IP Mailing List.

It was THAT incident to which I was referring and I did NOT make it up. . . and it did indeed turn out to be a problem with the SONY battery technology that affected all notebooks built by other manufacturers using the same technology from Sony. Why part of that concept do you a problem with that you insist on smearing Apple with Sony's bad product?

The article that block quote came from also noted that it was Dell Laptops that had been banned from Quantas Airline flights for bursting into flames in the 2006 recall frenzy, not Apple laptops. Not even a nice try.
