I spent the past 4+ years supporting both HP workstations and a "PC" product that I had designed from hand picked components, deployed in the same application. In the past 2 years we had far more (2:1) hardware failures in the HP equipment. It is possible to build a dependable piece of "PC" equipment. You just can't put crap in it, nor allow the customer to compare the final cost to an Acer from BB. -- Randy Terbush Zyzzyva Enterprises randy@zyzzyva.com <URL: http://www.zyzzyva.com/>;
