It was a silly name, but a great company and reputation.
I never dealt at the high end, maybe it was great on their enterprise stuff, but their desktops, even business class desktops left something to be desired

HP hasnt made a good printer in over a decade. Their hp 4200 series desktop printers were the last thing they made worth buying. We had a dozen of those at my last job and they just printed, all day, every day, hundreds of thousands of pages without requiring maintenance except for toner.
Current job there /was/ a hp6830 color scanner/printer. Bought less than a year ago by someone else. Hasnt worked since i started here in January. Doesnt accept off-brand toner, always says hp toner is damaged. 100 pages of prints costs 100 dollars in toner. Takes 15 minutes to start up. Just a pile of diarrhea.
I say /was/ because I shattered it in the parking lot as soon as the new Brother 9340 cdw showed up last week. -
I switched to Brother a few years back. Never been happier!

Time to call themselves Compaq again.
Oh god, please NO.
Want to discuss the joys of working on a Compaq compared with a Packard Hell back in the day?

NO THANK YOU!! I worked for Compaq (bench services- well ok I was their Executive Assistant but I worked on crap, crap being the operative word).

Oh how I wish I had pictures of my hands after replacing add in cards in either of them! I'd be able to give all the small children nightmares

Well Webroot believes fossforce.com is a malware site therefore I cannot read the story.
