Another and perfect example of Toyota's problem. I never said any of that. But jinx has somehow concluded things not stated.

Stated: more responsible computer manufacturers provide comprehensive hardware diagnostics - for free. If the manufacturer is less responsible, then a diagnostic must be downloaded from the disk drive manufacturer.

How does a less responsible computer manufacturer somehow become 'the wrong brand'? It doesn't if reading only what was posted.

How does 'download diagnostic from the disk drive manufacturer' become "didn't exist"? Same disk drive diagnostic was later discovered also on the same Ultimate Boot CD web site. A failing disk could have been identified at the start if following proper diagnostic protocol. But the biggest problem is always a human.

Demonstrated again is Toyota's biggest problem. And why facts must be 'filtered' through a communications major - must be 'politically correct' rather than 'technically honest'. Too many people only hear what they want to hear (apply emotions to every statement) rather than work only with the facts.

As people get older, they just know 'hidden messages' exist where none do. This compounds into propaganda, myths, and outright lies. Just another reason why the most difficult problem in addressing problems is a wild card - the human. And Toyota's most complicated issue to a technical solution.
