HP gets my "our wintel stuff sucks ass" award.  My Mother-in-Law has
returned her HP Pavillion no less than *4* times to circuit city due to
hardware failure.  Maybe there's a reason why those are always offered in
the MSN rebate specials.

When I was field tech with a contractor doing HP field repair, we made
several bold attempts to stay in the HP business, but had to discontinue
field support of HP's Wintel hardware.  It simply wasn't cost effective - we
lost money on every call....
