HP sucks!!!! We have 2 HP laptops at work...they're both trying to die and we've only had them 2 years! We also have an HP copier/printer/scanner/fax and I can't tell you how many times we all want to go "Office Space" on it!! We have to restart that stupid thing 5 times a day if we want it to fax anything. Ugh....loathe HP!

We just got 2 new Dell's to replace the HP laptops and they're amazing. I also have a Dell at home...David's ALWAYS gotten Dell computers, even after having 2 Sony Vio's that died on him!

I'm sorry you're having such bad luck, PCB. Hopefully your brother can figure out your old one.
