- I just received a quote from an HP sales rep and
- in this quote are estimates for delivery times.
- The average delivery time for most of the equipment
- is about six weeks (a little high, but I can live
- with that). The shocker was the CD-ROM drive;
- 11 weeks, I am not making this up. You have to
- sit down for this next one: the power cord for
- the CD-ROM drive will take 14 weeks. Does anyone
- in the company realize you cannot install unbundled
- software without the drive. All this makes me
- lose confidence in HP; one has to ask, are they
- a serious workstation company?
-
- What's the deal, HP?
