Well... looks like your choices are getting even slimmer. Compaq is no more. It has merged into HP.
But yeah, I agree, HP computers do suck. As an employee of CompUSA, I recomend that you tell the technician to attempt to get a replacement or a gift card (this assuming that you bought the extended warranty) or to get you a Mexican unit instead of a Taiwan unit. You can tell the difference by the serial number, if it begins with TW then it is a Taiwan unit, if it begins with MX then it is a mexican unit. The mexican units have been proven to be more reliable.
