I'll have to check our HP service contract receipts -- we had at least three
drive failures in four years on an HP (Apollo) 715/75 workstation. Between
that and the DAT drive failures on our 9000/G40s, the legendary HP quality
seemed to be scarce in the early-90's and apparently has only gotten worse
since then, especially in their PC and calculator products.


Cheers,
