Actually it was the COMPAQ laptop with Broadband that caught my eye. I was
working with a friend who recently purchased one. Everytime I turned the
wireless on it would blow away all connections. I spend about 6 hours
attempting to find out why, but the connections would go from 54MB to 1MB
about 10 seconds after I turned the laptop WiFi on even on 25% power.
He subsequently took the unit back and received another - this one worked
fine. Your story lets me to belive COMPAQ has developed serious issues with
QA. They used to be the best in the industry - now I am wondering. At the
moment I am having other issues that I cannot state without a doubt it is the
laptop. I can now see the internet but cannot share or see other computers
on the wireless.
Just a thought - sounds like COMPAQ is trying to assist
