I did call them, and they wouldn't give them. Wanted $50 dollars. The
disc by law should ship when the computer ships. The way I understand
it they are to provide a hard copy outside of the computer.

You can get the disks for free from HP. It isn't well advertised. You
have to call them.

Weaver was rumoured to have uttered....
| Funny that they now come from the same corporate
| structure.
|
| One big thing that I don't like with the new HP/Compaqs is
| that they
| don't come with recovery discs. All the recovery stuff is
on a
| partition on the hard drive. How they get away with this
when
| you're to
| be given a hard copy of any software they put on is beyond
me.
| If the
| HD fails you're stuck shelling out $50 or so dollars for a
| recovery CD
| with the OS on it. (that's after warranty).
|
| And if you ever need tech support, forget about it.
HP/Compaq
| is worse
| than Dell in my opinion, and Dell's support is
nonexsistent.
| I've got
| customers who come to me before they ever call Dell or
| HP/Compaq, even
| when the computer is under warranty.

| No problem with three here, other than cleaning all the
crap
| off them
| before I could use them. (G) HP is infested with
junk/trial
| programs
| and a good case of backweb. The computers seem to be good,
| though...not
| as good as a custom, but not junky like a Compaq either.

| Compaq
