Someone from HP will read this
and email you with an apology and some effort to correct this. I hope you do not take them up on their offer since it would never be extended if you weren't blogging for ZDNet.
It has taken some time but I have slowly become an Apple customer. Sell that HP laptop and buy a MacbookPro. ConsumerReports evaluates customer service from various computer manufacturers and I don't think you need to guess who sucks and who doesn't.
