My laptop arrived at HP today… Well, it arrived yesterday, it was acknowledged today. :) I have to say, I’m impressed with my experience so far. The experience on the phone initially was good. I didn’t feel like they were making me jump through hoops or anything like that. It was pretty cut and dry. But, then again when video dies, it’s pretty cut and dry. So, we’ll see how the rest of this pans out.

This morning FedEx picked up my laptop and is now sending it on its way over to HP for repair. I was recently reminded by a former co-worker about my record when it comes to technology… Especially computers and cars it seems. Now that I think of it, I’ve NEVER once been able to install a CPU without dropping it and bending the pins. I was so happy to see them move away from pins finally!. You remember my wonderful Corvette? Not to mention my current car and it’s bad gas cap…

Well, hopefully things will move along smoothly. I’m having some pretty serious withdrawal without my work machines. :(

So, we all know how much I rely on my computers. Well, yesterday one of them died. My laptop, which is my work machine died on me. The video card died — and died hard. The machine won’t even post now. So, I called HP, and I have to admit the experience wasn’t bad at all. But, I have to send my machine back to them to fix. Of course part of the process of fixing the machine is wiping my hard drive!! DOH!! That is this weekend’s project. Ugh… I hate hardware…
