All In Ones was hard drive woes

[Dale]

Bradley if its any help.  I have had several customers
bring their all in one printers in for me to get them
setup.  Had a couple of Lexmarks.. couple of the low
end HP's and a half dozen of the upper end HP's.
Lexmarks and the upper end HPs installed flawlessly.
Had a little bit of trouble with the scanner feature
of the lowend one on a couple of the systems.
But I was impressed with the speed and quality that
the upper end HP put out.  Lexmarks weren't quite as
fast.. but the quality was still good.
And Lexmarks tech support/ warrenty service is great.
Had a old winwriter 150c that quite working, called
them up.. had a new one in the mail two days later.
Plus postage paid return for mine.
Only people I have had that kind of warrenty service
from has been Cisco.

again.. just my 2 cents...
