Subject: Re: Archos sending out refurbished units as new?
From: Filip (fille_at_nibewege.org)
Date: 2003-03-31

companies do repair and sell components as new all the time btw .
also think about these celeron's that appear to be p4's (or bad p4's) if
you check it in the bios

so you shouldnt be surprised if it was a repaired one .
although not in this case it seems ..

cheers ,

fille
