No.  That is misinformation!  Not 100% of every computer model
manufactured by every computer manufacturer had this problem!  If you
don't have any information, then fine - but if you have some actual
information, then it would be appreciated.  Back to the Dell Dimension-C
- that model was apparently only marketed in Japan and it seems to have
been OEM manufactured by Acer in Taiwan.  THAT is information!  "Any
computer..." is not!

PS - More to the point - does anyone have any information regarding the 
manufacturer of the defective capacitors and which companies they were 
supplying?
