	I have had an HP Pavilion for years. It's still running with no
problems.

	I had one, its colors were *way* off. I was doing Web development
at the time and my pages looks completely different on a CRT monitor. The
surface of the laptop also scratched my wrists when I used it. I solved
the problem by covering the problem area with a vinyl sticker.

	I had a Dell server go south on me twice in a year. It was a 
catastrophic failure too. The RAID controller went bad and corrupted all
of the drives that were plugged into it. This happened twice! I had to
reinstall everything. My development server was an HP, no problems at all.

	Dell CRT monitors are weird, they have wires embedded in the
display. Its very annoying because they show up as lines when you try to
look at something. Not recommended.
