I've actually never owned a single USB Flash memory device.

Perhaps the more lawyer-like folks out there can correct me if I'm wrong, but, since this is a *class* action suit, the $5M dollars would not simply go to the person initially filing the suit, but would instead be split among the entire *class*. Depending on the size of the class and the actual final settlement, if any, each member of the class could end up only receiving a fraction of the cost of a new 360.

The figure may also legal fees, which would likely be quite a few bucks if they end up having to battle this out in court. A large team of lawyers may be necessary to go up against the army of a legal team I'm fairly sure MS has at their disposal.

My thoughts exactly!

You've obviously never worked in a UPS warehouse. Minor injuries like cuts, scrapes and bruises are pretty much a daily occurance for the average loader. More serious injuries, like broken bones and sprained ankles are also fairly common. The equipment loaders use takes an equal if not greater beating. Things happen at an extremely fast pace under less than ideal conditions, and there is a great deal of pressure to keep up a nearly superhuman pace.

On the plus side, when I was a loader at UPS years ago, I was in the best shape of my life...aside from the bruises.

I think jc is right. I have a cheap, crappy Dell keyboard at work, and whenever I press a key *slightly* off-center, it binds.

Should be available right around the time the Moller Aircars are on the market, right?

One more chance! Ahhh!

*crosses fingers*

w00t!

DING!
