The issue here is that these resellers sold their soupped up machines as legitimate. They sold their camaros as corvette's. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Larry Simonsen Phone: 801-489-2450 Flowserve Corporation Fax: 801-491-1750 PO Box 2200 http://www.flowserve.com Springville, UT 84663 e-mail: [log in to unmask] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----Original Message----- From: Wirt Atmar [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Tuesday, March 23, 1999 12:28 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: HP crackdown on resellers Forrest Smith writes: > Only in America!!!! > > I'm sure glad GM didn't send me and all my buddies in high school to prison > for reconfiguring the operating systems on our Camaro's and Mustang's to > the performance levels of corvette's and shelby cobras...... > > Times are changing and HP is still chasing after the old ways. If the story alleged in the Sacramento Business Journal is true, then there is no doubt that the behavior of Abtech, Hardware House, and others was flagrantly criminal and should be prosecuted to the full extent possible. I certainly have no compassion for people who behave in such a manner. Wirt Atmar
