hope you didnt buy a compaq laptop...ive had mine 8 months and have had nothing but problems with it...hard drive fried...monitor went out...sound system fails....freezes. And the serial number wore off the bottom! Compaq wouldnt honor the warranty...even with my reciept. They told me no serial number?? then theres nothing they can do to service me. It took me 2 weeks of ifghting person to person to finially get it resolved. Now...the monitor still goes white...and i have to reboot 2 or 3 times till it comes back. Now today...i developed a vertical pink line down the left dise of the screen. not bad for $2,400 on sale
