My daughter is a 2nd year law student at a highly reputable law school. Class notes, research, and even final exams require the use of a reliable notebook computer. During her 1st year of law school, I bought her a Toshiba A75-S206. The Best Buy salesperson said the notebook computer was very reliable, and highly recommended.

Well, the notebook pc worked fine for a while. But, then the Toshiba nightmare began. Oh, if you have a Toshiba notebook pc I am sure you are familiar with the nightmare. Your rocking along typing notes in a simple program like MSWord and all of a sudden...BOOM...the notebook pc has overheated and shutdown.

Wow, you say, this must mean the fan needs replacing. So you call around and quickly learn that it is not the fan...it's the Toshiba nightmare!

You frantically begin to search the web to research the issue and quickly discover that it is a worldwide problem with Toshiba. In researching the Japanese language you quickly discover that the Japanese word, Toshiba, means: Works like doggie poopoo

You also learn that Toshiba does not offer a consumer friendly solution. I.E. they want to slow down your processor so that the turtle pace will keep the machine from overheating.

Well, as the nightmare unravels you hear about terms like, class-action lawsuits. But, you don't hear about the results and cannot find out the status. So, your left in Toshiba nightmare limbo...like hundreds of thousands of other Toshiba consumers.

How does the nightmare end? You wake up and realize that you have been ripped off by Toshiba and that it might be the year 2090 before any lawsuit remedy is offered. By then, your 6 feet under and fertilizer....like doggie poopoo.

Solution...sell your Toshiba to a fisherman and present it as a boat anchor.

Good Luck!
