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....

So you've only ever had experience with two HP computers? No wonder you think they're a good product. ;-} While I've seen some HPs and Compaqs stand up to the "test of time," I've seen a lot more fail. As for the single Dell that failed you, every manufacturer has some lemons, including Dell. Overall, though...

You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but be aware that it will put you in the minority. Not that you've ever minded that, either. ;-}
