    I was just wondering how many owners were affected by the HP RAM recall. From reports, only HP has been affected.

    Is it a major problem?

    900,000 is pretty major i'd say, consider that Dell just made a recall too for a power adapter and that's only for 38,000 units. I don't think the Apple recall on the iBook graphics problem comes close to the 900,000 units HP will have to deal with.

    Then again, Apple does not sell nearly as many units as HP.

    What is this RAM recall?
    Which models did it affect?

    I am now considering the zt3000 since the Toshiba I wanted is no longer available. I want to know now if I should wait before I order?

    Thanks.
