Wait, what? Planet of the Apes isn't total fantasy? The Terminator is a documentary? Forbidden Planet's breathable atmosphere and humanoid aliens is more believable than a war between good and evil in a far distant galaxy?

Not meant to be taken seriously - I was referring only to Star Wars, of course!
Besides, there is a difference between science fiction and science fantasy and then there are sub-genres of each.
BTW: what humanoid aliens in Forbidden Planet??? The Krell? In any case why shouldn't aliens be humanoid in appearance? Just as much chance of that as any other form/ I suppose there might be some that look like a mattress...

Just curious, why is it SOOOOO dam difficult to find support for my HP Pavilion???? WHY OH WHY do they make is SOOO hard to get help???
I just spent an hour going through page after page on HP's site trying to find out how to contact repair. My PC's under warranty and I want it fixed.
Anyone have the right contact info for HP repair????

I sympathize with you. IMHO, HP's machines (esp. laptops) leave a lot to be desired and I haven't heard good things about their support either. Good luck.

I had Dell's, and when the went out I ended up with 2 HP's, which have worked great - until now.
I took it to a repair shop and he said the motherboard went out, so I'll just let them fix it.... if I can find where to take it or how to contact their repair.

Sorry - no.

Simple: If you can't contact them, you can't get it fixed under warranty. This is cheaper for them than actually providing a service department.
Or am I just a Cynical Old Fart?

No, you're not. I figured as much, but I needed to vent

I bought an HP scanner back in the days of XP, and it worked OK. Then when I upgraded to Windows 7, the driver was incompatible. I went onto the HP website to try and find a Win 7 driver for the scanner, but was astonished to learn that they no longer supported my model!
Their suggested solution to the problem: Buy a new scanner!
So I took their advice: I bought a new Canon and took a solemn oath never to buy HP again!

Have a HP laptop I bought in the US some years ago. Win 7 pre-loaded.
While I'm serious at work on it, the HP Support Assistant pops up and sucks all CPU power. Stubborn to any number of presses on the X button. Tried disabling it, but it pops out of nowhere, though less frequently.
Better call it as HP Distraction Work Agent than Support Assistant.
