I am an attorney in Georgia who is fed up with:

1.    No rebate from Compaq to date on the Presario 2266 (which I bought for
my kids for Christmas-big mistake)
2.    Written notice of cancellation to GTE ignored, still billing credit
card.
3.    Compaq represented processor on the 2266 as 300 mhz, when it is
actually 225 mhz (Compaq put a disclaimer on its support forum after I
purchased the computer)
4.    Computer has frequent lockup, apparently due to memory problems, but I
can't get a satisfactory response from Compaq.

I am looking into the feasiblity of a lawsuit against Compaq and GTE, as I
have observed that many others seem to have the same problems with not
getting rebates when promised, GTE not cancelling service, etc.  I am
looking into whether there may exist a case of fraud, and whether there are
others who have been similarly affected to warrant a class action suit.

If you are experiencing or have experienced the same problems with
Compaq/GTE rebates, failure to cancel service, or purchased a 2266 with the
understanding that the processor was a 300mhz chip, please e-mail me so that
I might evaluate the feasiblity of legal action.
