I'm seeing more and more counter-fit or unauthorized distribution channels all the damned time.
Picked up a pile of drives from CBIT last year and 25% of them were from Thailand and their warranty's were not honoured outside of Asia/Pacific. Now we do warranty lookups on every drive we order.

Hm. My take on it would be "an interesting article about counterfeit parts showing up in mainstream distribution channels", which is something else no-one wants to think about. *sigh* First time I've run into the term "ghost shift" regarding unauthorized production of parts at the OEM's own facilities. Interesting concept. -Adam _______________________________________________ Roundtable mailing list Roundtable@muug.mb.ca http://www.muug.mb.ca/mailman/listinfo/roundtable
