Well, I guess we'll have to wait and see. I don't see people out in the
streets yelling "Don't buy a Dell, it will catch on fire!" I don't see
their stock going down. They're being proactive with recalling these
batteries instead of letting the problem work itself out.

I think this will have more impact then just stock market assessment today
Dell has had a good public pr image whether this is Dell's fault or Sony's
doesn't matter it's a PR hit for Dell in the same sense that 'Unsafe at any
speed' made a signifant impact on domestic cars
This incident now also links Dell, not Sony with a lack of quality control
which people will remember
