Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] News Alert from NYTimes.com: Hewlett-Packard to Buy Compaq

One unintended benefit comes from this though, as you don't have to worry 
about getting coerced into upgrading someone's wal-mart pc. This happened 
to me once, when a friend needed a better sound card installed. A minute to 
pop open the case, another minute to put it back together (while gathering 
my bedside manner wits), then finally the last minute to explain to my 
friend, that he had been had, since there was nothing 'personal' about this 
PC.

Easiest compaq support call I ever had.
