We have 3 rooms where I work that house our servers. We are migrating some stuff over to an HP-UX system running oracle. When we had some HP representatives come over to our area to check out the place we intended to house the HP servers, they insisted that zinc whiskers could potentially be very damaging and that we make sure our rooms were clean and free of zinc whiskers (not that our rooms were particularly dirty). I always wondered how legitimate their claims were.
I live in south Texas, and there have been numerous reports in the local news and newspapers on the lawsuit situation here. I haven't looked into any cases, so I'm not aware how legitimate most of these lawsuits are. I also have not seen any numbers that I can recall that would show the disparty in the number of lawsuits here compared to other places. However, if there is a large dispartiy, I don't see many reasons why the competence level of doctors here would be so bad compared to other places that it would justify such a large number of lawsuits.
