TO HELL WITH HP!

[hiren]

Well, im tired of this HP and frankly speaking i can see why Dixons, (london electronics store) have cut its price to £199 , so tommorow, monday, im gonna go TELL THEM TO STICK THIS HP up thier....erm...you know what, and give me an IPAQ, i cant believe i didnt research this 8bit-->16bit problem well, im gonna give dixons a piece of my mind and pay an extra £136 to get a NEW IPAQ!! now that should solve my problems....hey if you guys think i should go for something else you got 12 hours to tell me ...my pc has been downloading EVC from the ms website for 7 hours now...damn i hate 56k...at least its free ..god im really annoyed for going for a cheap ppc, when i didnt have a set budget....i couldve gone for the ipaq and saved myself a WHOLE lot of trouble!!

you're in england? great. i dont go into dixons anymore. my local branch completely changed and they dont sell half of what they used to... <br><br>if you had enough for an ipaq in the first place why get an 8bit jornada? i thought the hp was already about £200 anyway.

Well, im writing from my office so i had better be brief...although its my last week here at scotia mocatta hehe. Well i went to dixons with my jornada 520 to ask for a refund...gawd ive never regretted doing something so much before! The manager was a nice indian bloke...i had to raise my voice several times before he let me get my refund...once i had got the refund i told him that i wanted a NEW ipaq hehehe...he said fine got out this nice box and handed to me...i owed him only £136 on top of my £200 i had paid for the jornada...making my ipaq cost : £336 its  a 3630 and is a real LOOKER! its a really good looking! Only problem is i didnt pick up a cf exp slot while i was there...so ill go back hehe and give another go and that poor manager. Does ne one know if this will effect my credit rating?? hehe. Ne way i had enough problems getting it on, there is this littl e switch that must be flipped before you can turn it on! DOH no one told me...although i couldnt be bothered to look through the instructions hehe. NO TIME! ne way ill let you know how i get on...i love its 16bit display its soooooooo avant garde.

This probably isnt a big deal i just wanted to let you know an ipaq acually has a 12 bit display, but it does run software ment for 6 bit becuase of it's screen driver or somthing like that. And it looks pretty crappy compaired to a 16, i wish i wouldnt have bought an ipaq.

[Paul]

hahaha 16bit my ass!! idiot.<br><br>and why the hell do people say ipaqs are 'stylish' and 'good looking'?!? its disgusting. a real white elephant. the same goes for the sony clié which also stinks. damn modern art fools.<br>

i live in england too.  I got a casio em500, which is a cheap ppc with a real 16bit display.  It a sweet machine.<br>Fu ck dixons, i bought mine off jungle.com, and i got pissed around by dabs.  lying site.<br>thats my rant

[Paul]

yeah jungle's good. i got my visual studio from them. i wanted an em500 (best design, i say) but it doesnt do cf does it? i think there was another problem i had with it... anyway, i'll get the new casio whenever thats coming
