Rodent Regatta

Last August I bought an HP Pavilion laptop that has never worked properly. Oh, it runs fine. If you turn it off it requires about 20 cycles of the power off-power on button before it will boot to a stable Windows XP desktop. So, it needs to go to HP for some attention.

Attention means, ”toss it and send me a new one!”

What I really crave is one of these. The software licensing to replace all that I have on my current laptop is the challenge. The coolness and ease of use factor may win me over, though.
