I go down to a local PC shop regularly to get involved in trade chat
about hardware and windows.  We nearly always find a 64Mb or 128Mb
stick of branded and certified RAM that doesn't work in a 1 hour
period of perhaps 2 or 3 PC builds or upgrades.  That's memory from a
reputable supplier.  Then there's the hard drives that drop dead when
you plug them in.  Same thing happens with the same hardware in Linux.

My own point of view on this is that for some reason the south-east
Asian dealers think we're a soft touch and I seem to have formed the
opinion that they do make a lot more money out of us than from other
countries at the wholesale level.

Anyway, this is just my opinion and not someone else's.  The PC retail
people over here find it best to say nothing and do nothing.  That way
they have a business.

Thanks
