but the bottom line here is that Wal-Mart has violated their contrat with
Compaq computers and gotten away with it.


Had a similar experience with Compaq - machine went bad 41 days after
purchase. Past the Computer City 30 day return policy. Spent 16
weeks fighting with Compaq to honor the warranty. Local "authorized"
service center completely rebuilt it and still couldn't get it to
work. Compaq had a run-around for everything. And a ton of high
school kids putting me on hold.

My take - Compaq is proof positive that McVeigh parked the truck in
the wrong place.
