I'm wondering if merging with Compaq improved Compaq or brought down HP...

Do not trust to hope, for it has abandoned these lands. :-)

Heh...that bad, huh?

I bought a Compaq a number of years ago. Had a monitor blow after I'd had it just under a year...after trying to convince them it was busted, that I was a tech and KNEW it was busted, and much being treated like dirt, I finally gave up trying to get it replaced. It's in my basement now.

May save them money on current customers, but I'll never be a repeat customer. I was astonished by how NASTY they were!
