No Call From Tyson

Tyson did not call back at 5:00pm so at 5:20pm I called him. A very nice Canadian woman answered and said that Tyson was on the phone with another customer. No problem I said I could wait.

Hewlett-Packard doesn’t have a great track record.

I have a feeling I have entered into Hewlett-Packard hell. I googled customer service and HP and came up with a boat load of complaints: http://www.my3cents.com/showReview.cgi?id=17012&s=1827 http://www.granneman.com/personal/journals/hpsterribleservice/index.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/228/RipOff0228175.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/314/RipOff0314567.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/314/RipOff0314053.htm http://forums12.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/bizsupport/questionanswer.do?admit=109447627+1206064676530+28353475&threadId=1129127 http://sanjose.bbb.org/WWWRoot/Report.aspx?site=68&bbb=1216&firm=207934 http://www.complaints.com/march2002/complaintoftheday.march17.2.htm http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/0/282/RipOff0282879.htm http://hewlett-packard.pissedconsumer.com/technician-coming-sometime-this-century-20080307114864.html http://www.news.com/Hurd-HPs-founders-would-be-appalled/2100-1014_3-6120939.html These are just the tip of the iceberg.

He again asked for my credit card number and explained that they needed it because they had trouble with customers not returning the defective hard drive. I asked him how much would be charged if it was not returned and he said it could be few hundred

I downloaded Apple's Safari for Windows yesterday to see if it really was faster than Firefox as it claimed. After the installation my computer slowed to a crawl. I ran
