Being from Cape Cod, I was expecting something else from the title.

Also being from Cape Cod I found it completely fitting that the product was expensive garbage. In order to truly live up to the expectations set by the name customers would have had to have bought it in droves based on some perceived brand image but Intel recalled it before that could happen.

    Hey Jose! This is hilarious. I think of the Cape as pretty tech starved, but I see why we all ended up in the comment section of this post!

I'm not from anywhere close to Cape Cod, and I was really confused at the comments for a while. I generally read the comments first, and I was wondering what someone could have done with Pentium chips and RAM latencies to cause some disaster there.

  If you're reading the comments first, the domain name next to the title often gives a clue.

    > os2museum.com I thought it was going to be some kind of engineering disaster on the Cape where the computers ran OS2. Considering that everyone in this thread lives on the Cape, and there's quite a bit of industry and military presence here, I think this misconception is rather understandable.

Being not from there I sort of thinking about perfect storm etc. They should have added the keywords intel. Btw I remember every facts of this episode - the ram, the motherboard etc but never get a name for it. Now I have. Pointless I guess. Even bad PR need a name. If you can’t name it you lost.

I expected it to be something about shark attacks on the economy or something. Very confused when it turned out to be about an Intel motherboard.
