I don't mind you saying it but I've had a reasonable amount of experience
and and unreasonable amount of trouble with HP computer products. I
doesn't sound "informed" because you disagree, which is fine. If you
haven't had problems I hope you never do. Maybe its just because I see alot
more HP system than a single user with a single PC? I know I've seen many
many HPs need replacement parts in about 1 year where as I just put my first
part into my 3 year old custom built machine. And that was more of an
upgrade (needed more power for my 6 hard drives and the 400watt PSU was
failing to power all my hardware.)

Yes they are, and let me clearify that my opinion was directed towards their
computer products, which is where my experience lies. I don't have
experience with their industrial engineering and measuring equipment and
maybe those products are fine. They should be since they are being counted
on as much as they are! But I stand behind my opinion of their computer
products, seen WAY to many with problems.
> I love their desktop computers.
We have a difference in opinion, I've seen to many go bad. Which when it
comes to my computer business is great, its made me a fair amount of $$.
Find a good local shop and have them build you a system with brand name
parts and you'll likely change your mind. You'll pay quite a bit more but
you won't have to replace anything near as quickly. HP, Dell, Compaq,
Gateway, and almost every other major manufacturer has cheap boards (video,
sound, motherboards, etc) mass produced for nothing and thats why you can
buy computers from dell (for example) for $299-$399. You get what you pay
for!
