Personally I've sworn off Compaq (and now HP) PCs forever.  The last few 
I've dealt with including my parents' last three PCs, my wife's laptop, 
etc have been absolute garbage and have broken (both the hardware and 
software) almost immediately out of warranty.  My wife's 18-month old 
laptop battery refused to hold any charge at all, for example.  Utter 
crap.  Caveat Emptor
