[Hidden-tech] Thanx... next question...

[Tom Kopec]

I won't say stay away from HP, because I'm typing this on an HP laptop that 
is probably the best-overall computer I've ever owned (mw8240).. but that's 
not the lowest price..

during the "holiday season" I bought a $249.99-after-rebate-without-monitor 
eMachines box to drive the family-room stereo. It is a perfectly fine 
machine, the build quality and component choice is at least as good as the 
Dells that my client(s) buy.. once upon a time eMachines were perhaps 
so-so.. but given that they have survived, they must be building decent 
stuff else the returns/warranty would have tanked them by now..
