>>There is virtually nothing that I like about the way HWP does business. I would short them based on my low opinion of the management style of that company alone.<< Amen to that. I bought their top of the line Pavilion with more bells and whistles than I thought I would ever need. Everything inside the machine is proprietary - meaning if something goes wrong, it has to be replaced with an HP part. The hard drive crashed after 9 months and had to be replaced. Took 3 days to get the drive. The HP printer and the HP scanner are in conflict with each other because they both access the same IRQ and I have to go in and manually change it. They charge $25 for the first half hour for a service call - even tho the problem is theirs. Their service jockeys work from a script and if the problem isn't in their script then that's as far as they can go. You can't get bumped up higher to someone who knows what's happening. I will never again buy an HP product!
