Behold, the iPAQ, now dead after just barely passing its warrany expiration date. The screen's going fruity on me, making the device inoperable. And what crime did I commit to cause it such irreprable harm? Nothing! I didn't drop it, I didn't scratch it, I didn't run a magnet over it, I didn't harm it in any way, and it just friggin' breaks on me (meaning $350 wasted on a few months of iPAQ goodness)!
I want to return the thing to the store, but the store won't take it back. I already returned one iPAQ for the same exact problem as this one, and they don't believe me that it's HP's fault these things are braking like this.
It's almost like HP designed these things to brake! In fact, I also remember our family owning a desktop by Hewlett Packard that they told us broke because something came loose when we put it on the table! Every Hewlett Packard product I've ever used has failed me in some way!
So I checked their website for their mission statement (to see if they were ripping off their customers on purpose); they didn't even have it available to read. Suspicious.
I'm doing all computer business with someone else from now on.
