Well, I too got the POS CQ56 replacement from HP at a significant loss of features and $$.. Now after rarely using it (I bought a Toshiba while waiting) the HD has tanked and it is useless unti lI replace the HD. Probably we will find out that the HDs were defective too in about a year or so, and ANOTHER class action to enrich the attorneys will occur. I hope the judge who approved ths crap replacement is constantly hacked and/or has comm problems that make his life miserable. But with the --um, possible---payoff that was (naturally) whispered about, he will be able to buy LOTs of really NICE computers for his own use...
