Thanks for the info Bruce. I guess I'll have to trash
my HP Brio 600 (purchased in 1998) and my HP
Pavilion 761n (purchased in 2001) and my HP Pavilion
F1903 19" LCD monitor (purchased in 2004), and my
HP DVD 640i DVD Writer w/LightScribe (purchased
in 2005), all of which have performed flawlessly over
the years!
BTW, I should also mention my Dell Inspiron 8100
notebook (purchased in 2002) which experienced
a video adapter and cooling fan failures right after
the Dell warranty expired....

Yes, HP systems have sunk a long way over the past 5 or so years.
Acquiring Compaq was not one of its better moves when there were
better targets waiting to be acquired, such as Silicon Graphics.
Unless HP shores up its quality, its other product lines are also
endangered and I do not even want to think of an alternative to
the HP LaserJets at this time.
Reputations of branded computer systems are at an all-time low.
It is a proven fact that "cheap" does not necessarily result in
quality and this is the current marketplace. Even Dell suffers
accordingly and it shows in the quality of their products over
the same time span.
Get used to it. This is the age of the throw-away society and
you should take note that 2 full OEM versions of Windows XP
equals the price 1 full retail verstion of Windows XP, on the
street, and the life of an OS is about the same as that of a
computer system --- 3 years.
