Default well a computer story.

OK so after a long battle between me and the nerds over at HP, i'm finally getting my "powerhouse" fixed! And for free too!. Its an HP Pavilion ZD7000 CTONotebook. Video card went out a while back, and it shorted everything out. So i'm getting a new motherboard, 500GB HDD, memory, DVD-RW drive, 3.6Ghz P4HT Processor, Nvidia 8700? series graphics card.

Come to find out, every one of these models with listed serial numbers were affected, (woohoo, mine was one of the nonlucky ones ) but it is court ordered for them to be fixed for free! so after a 3 hour debate on the phone about, how either they fix it or i sue them... they finally gave in and sent me the empty box. Now don't worry anyone.. i have a tape recorder hooked to my phone for just these kind of occasions... so if they try to send me a $400-$500 service charge.

check the court order out if you want. www.hpnotebooksettlement.com

Well.. as soon as i get it back, PS2 Emulation here i come!



Yeah... this doesn't belong in 4 cyl.. but! I thought i would share it with you guys, since you're the only ones i talk to[8D]

BTW! i payed $3600 for it 16 months ago. And it wasn't even fully loaded[8D] Fully loaded was like... $5200? LOL
