JG, please give Time Traveler a break as well.

Time Traveler surfed through both HP and IBM's websites and found the Aptiva E85 just as you have mentioned, but HP is a completely different story.

HP Pavillion 6346 is the closest to your claim. Yet this model comes with Celeron 300 (not 266) and also includes Polk stereo audio speakers. HP does not list the retail price, so where did you get that price of $1,299? A few months ago?

Time Traveler always likes HP until about half a year ago. Now, Time Traveler has no faith in HP. Time Traveler never has any fondness towards IBM, although Time Traveler's parents are shareholders of IBM.

Why do you dislike HP and like IBM?

Embrace yourself for the upcoming disappointment (once again),
Time Traveler
