That's the biggest and bitterest rub isn't it ? The money is peanuts to these corporate giants so who loses out ?

Only the customer who was screwed with the price in the first place meanwhile the government wins twice - first time when they pick up more sales tax on overpriced models and secondly when they pocket the money from the fines... I don't see them arranging to perform a Robin Hood and redistribute all the money that LG etc stole from customers in the first place - more likely they will continue in their traditonal role as Robin Blind

I would never purchase any Dell products. Their computers are overpriced and crap out within a couple of years and you end up with nothing more than a worthless hunk of metal.
