I can't let that statement go without a reply...It WAS NOT HP It was
Packard Bell.  People get the two confused because Hewlett PACKARD adn
PACKARD Bell have similar names (PB did that on purpose to get some of
HP's Rep)  Hewlett packard is one of the finest companies out there
(they have their share of problems, but the recent Suit against Packard
Bell was not one of them.)

Thanks, Sorry if I was raving....
