3 months ago? Compaq? I thought HP had dropped the Compaq brand, they
certainly have here (they called it HP-Compaq for a while, then just
dropped the Compaq altogether).

It seems that the old Compaq name soldiers on here in America. At
least for now.

I'm a bit miffed about Hewlett-Paqard actually - we have 70 of their
slimline desktops. Within 9 months *all* of them had failed and had to
have new motherboards under warranty (bad capacitors). About 1/3rd of
them shipped with bad hard discs. The same machines are now failing for a
second time, this time with bad capacitors in the power supply. Of
course they are now out of warranty so we're going to have to pay to
have all the power supplies replaced.

A "bit miffed"? I'd be standing in their office, on someone's desk!
(Of course, good luck finding an office, or a desk, in a company like
H-P anymore...)
