Had this same attitude with Gateway. Spent $3,500 for my computer and they built it wrong by putting two (2) 250 gig Sata hard drives on top of each other without any air flow. They burned out at the same time. Will I ever buy another Gateway product -- not in this lifetime. Judith __________________ Florida Greetings to you all, One of my students recently purchased a new Dell laptop & then also purchased an HP - all - in - one scanner, copier, & printer. His trouble began after he scanned a two paragraph Word document into his computer, then he put it into Windows Mail (he is running Vista) as an attachment. When trying to send it out the program would take a half hour trying to send the message but ultimately ended up saying that the attachment was too big to send. He picked a .jpeg that was already in the computer & tried sending that as an attachment & it went out immediately. He can send anything that was not scanned with the HP but anything that he scanned it would not go out. GMan, you recommended uninstalling & reinstalling the HP....did that but the results were the same. Called HP tech support talked to a tech, didn't like her answer & asked to speak to her supervisor. Her supervisor was as bad in attitude or even worse than she was. Their reply was 'as far as HP was concerned the scanner was doing what it should do...which was scan. As far as being able to send what was scanned, well that was not there problem. They are not responsible for the lack of results do to the email program or the Internet. They were only responsible for their product to be able to scan, or copy. I told her that my HP scanned & I could send what was scanned via email just fine. There position did not change...she just said lucky me. I told her we would return the HP & get a different model & they send that would change nothing. I told her that, with that attitude I would never buy another HP nor would I ever recommend them. She said that was my privilege to do so. What a lousy attitude! So do you nice & knowledgeable people have any recommendations as to what brand to get?
