[QUOTE="SWHandldr, post: 2797586, member: 114858"] Shipped a desktop computer from Dallas to the Tax Office in a deep West Texas county (more cows than people) in the 1990's. UPS put a forklift blade completely through the computer. Filed an insurance claim. After hemming & hawing, UPS returned the machine to us & denied the claim. Our examination showed that the blade had somehow missed ALL the internals. We protested that the mechanical hard drive experienced shock sufficient to render it suspect; UPS still denied our claim. Transferred the innards to a new chassis, replaced the drive, stress tested the computer. It passed so we re-shipped it. Kept the new but suspect drive for shop use. It failed within 90 days.... That was 30 years ago. At least they're consistent. [/QUOTE]
