Never had a Ford Fiesta...but I did have a Ford Maverick once :-)
anyway...

Not only did the Series 70's have this problem, but I can recall a certain
950 also having this problem.  I do have to agree with Steve, however, in
that the 3000 line overall has very few problems in this area, if any at
all.

(As for the PCs, believe it or not, Gateway also seems to build a solid
box --- I have both a server and a laptop from Gateway.. both are used
constantly.  The notebook is two years old and looks it - and has not failed
me yet, as well as the server.  This is not to say that HP Netservers are
not as reliable --- as a matter of fact, I would expect the Netserver to be
as reliable as the 3000, because it comes from HP!)
