            Leonard,

            That's pure bullshit: Newer doesn't honor their warranty. In fact, I had a
    customer that had seven bad 16x8 (16 MB 30 pin) SIMMs, - As independently
    tested by the lab at PCM - So I sent the SIMMs back TWICE... And they returned
    them TWICE. They claimed that they didn't have any replacements to ship out.
    Finally, the distributor who sold the SIMMs to this fellow took them and shoved
    them down Newer's throat. Thank goodness the distributor owed Newer a few
    thousand dollars, so he was able to deduct the cost of those "lifetime
    guaranteed" scrap.

            And No, this was Not an esoteric problem: The Quadra 950 these SIMMs were in
    was constantly crashing; and when I replaced them the crashing stopped. The
    SIMMs had an assortment of stuck bits, high bus noise, and soft errors.

            A warranty is like any other contract: It's only as good as the people who
    sign it. And as far as I'm concerned, Newer Technology's word is as good as
    shit.
