And the thought police rear their ugly heads, yet again!

NO, had two 8700 series Presarios---both were turkeys--just plain junk. We
had nothing but problems with them. Also have one Armada laptop--it's been OK. "Developwebsites" wrote in message ...

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!

Good grief. We have the benefit of an ex-Compaq tech in HH and Irene is
hassling him? The post DIDN'T make any sense. Tom "Deep" wrote in message . rogers.com... Look who's talking! The ugliest of all the heads put together!

My comment was very obviously directed at one part of his post and you know
it. "Go away. HH" The guy has as much right to be here as HH, or you! "Tom Scales" wrote in message ... Good grief. We have the benefit of an ex-Compaq tech in HH and Irene is hassling him?

I've got a Compaq 5WV295 that is almost two years old. It's been a
good computer and has yet to give me any problems. I'm wondering though if Compaq sort of lost their unique identity when they merged with HP. For that reason I may not buy another. |

Yes they most certainly did. Check out News.com. There are several articles
about the merger and the loss of identity. Deep "Solar^" wrote in message ... I've got a Compaq 5WV295 that is almost two years old. It's been a good computer and has yet to give me any problems.

Yes,
I find their Servers and Desktops to be fine. I've also owned a number of their laptops. We'd buy those again also. I used to believe in custom made computers, but other manufacturers put out a better product, and could do so in the quantities that my clients required. So the answer is YES, I would. Would you buy another Jeep? Mike "Developwebsites" wrote in message ...

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. "Chocklitwonder" wrote in message ... i am not sure sure about the quality of the newer compaqs. i currently have two presarios a 7118us (pentium 4) and a 5wv254 (amd duron). have never had any problems whatsoever. i have heard that the newert compaqs have not been too trustworthy. |

I will never buy another Compaq. I've purchased them since they first
came out in the early 1980s at work and finally bought one for home use. When I had to mail it back for a M-board replacement recently (less than 5 months old), to my horror, they removed my RAM! I've spent months trying to get it back, and their response is "our repair shop says they returned it." Obviously, the repair shop lied, but they are done with me. That's OK. I'm done with them, too, and I work in a field where I've controlled the procurement of literally hundreds of thousands of computers. Next rollout won't be Compaq or HP! |
