That's true... warranties can vary.

However, in my experience, it's rare that a CPU, RAM, or many other
components will work for the first 30-90 days, then, under normal
conditions, fail before the 'retail' warranty expires.

"Yes, the president should resign. He has lied to the American people, time
and time again, and betrayed their trust. He is no longer an effective
leader.  Since he has admitted guilt, there is no reason to put the American
people through an impeachment. He will serve absolutely no purpose in
finishing out his term, the only possible solution is for the president to
save some dignity and resign."
      -- William Jefferson Clinton, 1974 on President Nixon.
