Help Asked for a FRU, told there were none in stock...

As the title says, rep said they couldn't provide a FRU because the Dinc's backordered...is he yanking my chain?

Fru?

FRU = Field Replacement Unit

Interesting.. But yeah, they are still backordered due to display outages..

FRU = Field Replacement Unit

Wtf? Are we in the military around here? Where did that come from and when was the last time you heard that spoken?

FRU isn't a military term, it is used by many companies. However the usage here is incorrect. A FRU is a replaceable part and not an entire phone. On a phone a FRU would be a battery or battery door.

Thanks for clarifying that. For an exceedingly lazy man like myself, I'd still rather type FRU than replacement. Those 8 extra keystrokes add up
