- It's quite frustrating. We have an old Compaq greyface (386/20) (courtesy
- of Compaq) and it works just fine, but it was a "lab special" and hence
- may not be fully representative of all of Compaq's product line. Now if
- Compaq would just send us an updated model, or better yet one of the new
- notebooks, we would finally be able to figure out what's going wrong...
