Please keep us updated on how that HP works for you. I love HP - I worked in their printed circuit board division for awhile, & have always had great success with their programmable calculators and printers. However, the HP Pavilion computer that I treated myself to when I graduated college was the biggest lemon I've ever had. The insult of the thing not working well (even after a warratied mother board replacement) added to the injury of me special ordering it from a Best Buy store, waiting weeks for it to come in, and paying way too much for it. (A lot of lessons later realized...) Since then I've stayed away from HP computers, but that was years ago, before the Compaq merger. I'd be interested to find out how yours holds up.
