It is like the car crash testing before the emphasis on side and corner
impacts. Cars were designed to survive head on impacts, and tested insuch a w
ay that proved they were effective. Over time they realized cars rarely
crashed head on and the corners were the source of criticial damage and
injuries. I have to wonder about how the testing compared to real world
handling and vibration. One time we had a Gateway that would work in the
lab, then fail in the field. It was their attempt at a tool free metal
frame, and developed a twist in the sheet metal which would cause the video
card to shift position when moved. The only way to resolve the issue was
send it back to Gateway and get a machine that didn't have a twisted chassis.
