That wikicrap again.

Actually one of the things that did hurt was the RA8x debacle.  
Good drive but some dunderhead subbed a adhesive and usually within
a 100hrs they would headcrash.  I believe the FA forcast on that was 
101million to return and preplace all the damaged HDA and it was 
more due to efforts resulting from crahses.

That and keeping PNO and ABQ open with staff no work.
