I'm careful for Sony drives, although they make good hardware, they are the ones pushing for hardware copy protection and all that. Hence I avoid them.
And do you inform Sony of your reasons for boycotting their products? If not, you're only harming (or, at least, limiting) yourself.
I have, actually. Haven't received any reply though. I am quite diligent in letting manufacturers know why I buy or don't buy their products. I let them know why I don't buy certain things and what they could do that would make me consider it. I let them know why I returned certain products. And, were I use a brand that consistently give me excellent service (Gigabyte, for instance), I let them know.
OK, then. (Just checking.) Many people seem unaware that feedback is the key factor in such consumer protest.
