We had two 8700's and they were pure, unadulterated junk.
The Armada that I have has been OK. For the most part trouble free and reliable.

If you still think that I didn't answer your question, you missed more than
an "s". "Deep" wrote in message le.rogers.com... Oh darn, I missed an "s". Still haven't answered my question... Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... You really do have a problem reading, don't you? If you look a the portion of my message(below) that you quoted, I think you will find it was "newsgroups", NOT, "new groups". BTW, the two do not mean the same thing. g "Deep" wrote in message le.rogers.com... The number of new groups? I've only participated in 3 NG's! There's been some minor questions posed in some Honda and Nissan newsgroups, but that's about it. You on the other hand strive and live for this wondeful stuff.... Oh granny, tell me the story again where you thought you put someone in their place? Please granny please! Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... Considering the number of newsgroups that I found you making these kinds of post in, I would say, it may well be your primary source of amusement. g "Deep" wrote in message e.rogers.com... Ya... I really have a bad habit of letting these types of people get me to respond to their drivel... But hey! It's fun! I particularly love it when you prove them wrong so badly that they can't even answer your question!! ;-) Deep "HH" wrote in message . .. Forget it Deep. She LIVES for these exchanges. She has nothing better to do. Sad but true. HH "Deep" wrote in message le.rogers.com... And that proved what? I asked you a question, you haven't answered it. In fact, you are doing everything BUT answer the question. Your response is childish and completely useless! I used no "curse" words in this thread. You do realise that doS and myself are different people, right? You really need to work on learning to read and understand, not just read the words. Will you answer the question or will you continue your child-like manners? I've posed a logical and proper question. Prove to me you're better by actually answering it. So far, you've proven that you are the same as everyone you "police". Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... Yes because everyone knows Winnipeg is north of Toronto, not west. You're about as dumb as Americans! At least when it comes to geography... Do you even know where you moved to? Deep HA! You're such a twit. You were so stupid you couldn't get a job or go to school in Canada it seems. Once a total dumb ass, always a total dumb ass... And yes I have travelled to Winnipeg, ****-for-brains.... If anything you're just as wrong as I was! Deep Wow. That must have taken you all night to write. Nice work Dumb ass! You, as you were several years ago as well, are not worth the bandwidth or time. How someone could be as stupid as you and figure out how to turn on a computer is beyond me. Masters in Economics? I shudder at the fact that we actually have something in common... Deep Aaah shut the **** up. If you don't want it, don't post. Deep oooooo like I care. Go plonk your you-know-what in you-know-where.... Deep Idiot... Pure Idiot... Deep Well, as his handle indicates, he's dilusional! ;-) Deep Ahh Greggors' just an idiot... Ignore him... Deep You are an absolute bumbling idiot. Pure and simple. Hey... Aren't you the retard who was testing me on my sources? In your face buddy, in your face... Deep You **** off nut ball.. What the **** do you need a * for? Still a kid? Deep Bull ****. You have no idea what you're talking about. Deep Ahh yes... The bumbling idiot's emerge... Deep You really are an idiot to top all idiots... Deep A Jackass to the end... Why don't you go back into hiding? It was much nicer then... Another incredibly brilliant response from who has to be the biggest blundering idiot to enter the forum since SBdot.... Deep Ladies and Gentlemen! We have a new winner for the Newsgroup's Most Pathetic Individual! Congratulations Joel... Deep Uh huh.... sure... And you're brilliant beyond belief. Say whatever you need to to make your insignificant existence justified to your puny self... Deep BTW: Don't bother replying. I won't be wasting my time on insignificants such as yourself. The Incredible Idiot has stuck again! The Incredible Idiot -- Long ago he was stuck with a bolt of lightening and when he woke up, he found that anytime someone spoke of something that disagreed with him, he would morph into a brainless bumbling idiot! Deep And to top it all off, this comment that you made. I guess it is another case of do as you say, not as you do So what DO you do, besides find jollies in insulting people you'll never meet over the internet? Deep "Deep" wrote in message e.rogers.com... Still haven't answered the question... Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... I guess because you think you know more about computers than others who frequent this group, you have a right to behave any way you choose and use any language you choose. That say a lot more about you than it says about those you ridicule, name call, and curse. \ "Deep" wrote in message . rogers.com... Here we go again... Ohhh.. you don't curse... Yes you're absolutely correct. You'll be going to heaven if you believe in that garbage. So glad for you. Now leave those who actually know something about computers alone. Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... Think you're any better? Yes, I don't curse. I don't ridicule some one who asks an obviously simple or incorrect question. Nor do I ridicule someone who make an invalid comment. "Deep" wrote in message . rogers.com... Look who's talking! The ugliest of all the heads put together! If HH is part of the "police", then you are the police's police. Think you're any better? Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... And the thought police rear their ugly heads, yet again! "HH" wrote in message ... 7100s were not even designed by Compaq. They were Mitec boxes from start to finish and were real turkeys. Also, half your post makes no sense. Go away. HH "Developwebsites" wrote in message ... I've had too many problems with my presario 7170 to bother with a compaq again. the printer wouldnt install also. their support was horrible. at one time compaqs had internal ls-120, then zips if i remember. dont compaqs use AMD CPUs instead of Intel? -------------------------------------------------- remove *batSPAM* to e-mail me -------------------------------------------------- |

Sorry that should have been "haven't".
"Irene" wrote in message ... You still have explained why you criticize me for quoting such language, but say absolutely nothing to those who originated the posts. No withstanding you denials, the reason that I came up with is the most likely. Sorry. I have to stick with that until you demonstrate differently. "Bob" wrote in message ... Frankly, I don't care if folks are pro or anti Compaq, Dell, HP, Sony, etc. To each, his own. I am not that strongly attached to any type of machine to be that passionate one way or another. Personally, I have had nothing but good experiences with the computers I (or my family have had) over the years. Problems have been rare and the few calls made to sales, tech support or customer service have been handled in a professional and timely manner. I have owned computers of some sort since 1978 (Apple, Packard Bell. HP, Compaq, Dell, Alienware). I guess I have just been lucky for the past 25 years. It would be great if newsgroups of this type were used solely for the purpose of information and help, however, I understand that folks want to vent about their bad experiences and that's their right. It is also the right of those to defend their positions on the positive side.It just interests me that you have complained about Deep's vulgarities and yet you have reposted these vulgarities in at least 3 separate posts. I suppose I "pick on" your posts because I usually find yours in the middle of some "entertaining" back and forths. I would classify Newsgroups as a source of two things, information and entertainment. If I am not interested in a particular topic as described in the header, then I would not necessarily read through the posts, however, if I see a bunch of responses with certain sender's names, I will read those because occasionally, they are real entertaining. Deeps' (or others) vulgarities were probably in response to some humdrum question in a topic that is of little interest, thus I can not remember seeing any of them except when reposted by you. It would be great if all folks would use language that you or I or anyone would deem "appropriate", but in certain locales it just isn't going to happen. With the wide variety of unknown personalities on newsgroups, you can't expect them to acquiesce to what you want, thus you should assume that, at the very least, newsgroups should be rated 'R'. With that being the case, you or your grandchildren, shouldn't be surprised if vulgarities show up. I have an 8 year old granddaughter. I would never allow her to use the Internet unsupervised because you never know what can be accidentally found and if I were using the Internet with her, I would certainly not be reading newsgroups with her, but, to each his/her own. At least I am fortunate that she is not nearly as Internet savvy as yours because she doesn't even know what a newsgroup is, much less have the ability to open one up and either download new messages or read existing messages. "Irene" wrote in message ... I find it difficult to understand why you object to my posts, quoting the vulgarities and insults, but do not post any comments objecting to the originators of those posts. Could it be because you and those few folks are strongly pro Compaq and I am not? No, you wouldn't be that hypocritical, would you? "Bob" wrote in message ... I know how newsreaders work and I know that you find vulgarities offensive, yet you don't seem to respect others who may find the language offensive because you choose to repost it without editing the vulgarities. I can only assume from your previous post a while ago that you grandchildren use your computer unsupervised since I would suspect you would not allow them to read newsgroups that contain vulgarities, yet somehow (according to you), they managed to do so. Practice what you preach. Since you find the language offensive, don't continue to repost it. Others find it offensive as well. "Irene" wrote in message ... And you don't know what you are talking about. Neither what I allow, or how my newsreader works. "Bob" wrote in message ... Remember Irene, you allow your grandchildren to peruse these newsgroups unsupervised as you stated in a previous post. You are again subjecting them to foul languange that YOU choose to repost.

My original post to you wasn't the fact that the language offended me, it
was the fact that you chose to repost language that you found offensive to your grandchildren. You can quote and post whatever language you want, I just find it interesting that you would post something that you personally find offensive. As I stated in my last post, while it would be nice if everyone used language I "approve" of, I can't be offended if I see or hear the language in places where it may exist such as a newsgroup in which I don't personally know anyone. (at least, not that I am aware of). Some of the vulgarities you chose to repost are indeed offensive, but they are things I read everyday in bestselling books. To make it clear, although I don't condone such language, I am not chastising anyone in this newsgroup who uses it. I am only responding to the fact that you chose to repost vulgarities on at least 3 occasions which you found offensive because your grandchildren may inadvertantly read them while perusing this newsgroup. Since you are such a concerned grandparent, I find it odd that you would repost these vulgarities under your username when the possibility exists that your grandchildren may see them again. Had you NOT reposted them, the odds would severely diminish that they would be seen again. For instance, if someone posted an inappropriate piece of spam to this group it would be ridiculous for me to admonish them via a response which included their original spam.

Problems have been rare and the few calls made to sales, tech support or customer service have been handled in a professional and timely manner. I have owned computers of some sort since 1978 (Apple, Packard Bell. HP, Compaq, Dell, Alienware). I guess I have just been lucky for the past 25 years. It would be great if newsgroups of this type were used solely for the purpose of information and help, however, I understand that folks want to vent about their bad experiences and that's their right. It is also the right of those to defend their positions on the positive side.It just interests me that you have complained about Deep's vulgarities and yet you have reposted these vulgarities in at least 3 separate posts. I suppose I "pick on" your posts because I usually find yours in the middle of some "entertaining" back and forths. I would classify Newsgroups as a source of two things, information and entertainment. If I am not interested in a particular topic as described in the header, then I would not necessarily read through the posts, however, if I see a bunch of responses with certain sender's names, I will read those because occasionally, they are real entertaining. Deeps' (or others) vulgarities were probably in response to some humdrum question in a topic that is of little interest, thus I can not remember seeing any of them except when reposted by you. It would be great if all folks would use language that you or I or anyone would deem "appropriate", but in certain locales it just isn't going to happen. With the wide variety of unknown personalities on newsgroups, you can't expect them to acquiesce to what you want, thus you should assume that, at the very least, newsgroups should be rated 'R'. With that being the case, you or your grandchildren, shouldn't be surprised if vulgarities show up. I have an 8 year old granddaughter. I would never allow her to use the Internet unsupervised because you never know what can be accidentally found and if I were using the Internet with her, I would certainly not be reading newsgroups with her, but, to each his/her own. At least I am fortunate that she is not nearly as Internet savvy as yours because she doesn't even know what a newsgroup is, much less have the ability to open one up and either download new messages or read existing messages. "Irene" wrote in message ... I find it difficult to understand why you object to my posts, quoting the vulgarities and insults, but do not post any comments objecting to the originators of those posts. Could it be because you and those few folks are strongly pro Compaq and I am not? No, you wouldn't be that hypocritical, would you? "Bob" wrote in message ... I know how newsreaders work and I know that you find vulgarities offensive, yet you don't seem to respect others who may find the language offensive because you choose to repost it without editing the vulgarities. I can only assume from your previous post a while ago that you grandchildren use your computer unsupervised since I would suspect you would not allow them to read newsgroups that contain vulgarities, yet somehow (according to you), they managed to do so. Practice what you preach. Since you find the language offensive, don't continue to repost it. Others find it offensive as well. "Irene" wrote in message ... And you don't know what you are talking about. Neither what I allow, or how my newsreader works. "Bob" wrote in message ... Remember Irene, you allow your grandchildren to peruse these newsgroups unsupervised as you stated in a previous post. You are again subjecting them to foul languange that YOU choose to repost.

For you bud...
I'll let the sleeping dog lie... Deep "HH" wrote in message . .. Guys, this is gettin' real old. Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, she thrives on this. It's her life....a pity. Let it die pullllllllllllease!!!!! HH "Deep" wrote in message le.rogers.com... So your logic is that those who use the language you find so offensive should be attacked? Come on grandma! Attack away!! Deep "Irene" wrote in message ... You still have explained why you criticize me for quoting such language, but say absolutely nothing to those who originated the posts. No withstanding you denials, the reason that I came up with is the most likely. Sorry. I have to stick with that until you demonstrate differently. "Bob" wrote in message ...
