I can only imagine it was an issue Apple knew about before the Rev.1 was shipped, as the servers all shipped with SCSI drives. Like, it didnt take the end user long to work out there was a serious issue... as Renegade said, XLR8 documented it within a few months of it being released to the market, so surely the operational testing guys at Cupertino knew about it. Same deal with the yoyos... They were downright dangerous and it was worked out very early in the piece. They were introduced in 2001? and well... I was still shipped one as later as 2005, and my brother purchased one new in around 2007 from Apple?... They were rubbish, they were dangerous, the whole Apple community knew about it, yet as far as I am aware, a recall was never initiated. And it wasnt just a possibility of them shorting out, they were notorious for shorting out and bursting into flames... I have two friends from high school who had it happen to them and Ive seen the evidence to prove it.

But yeh, I guess 13 years after the fact it's an irrelevant point, but it still does bring one to ask some questions about Apple's ethics... the same way the Pinto, Explorer, BA Falcon/Territory. and Crown Victoria make one question the ethics of Ford Motor Company.
