RE: [dba-Tech] Norton FirewallI only stand by the HP "printer"
recommendations. HP the company (even before they aquired Compaq) has
numerous divisions that could probably stand alone as seperate companies.
Their Printing and imaging division is of the highest quality. I used to
recommend their (low to mid range) scanners until about 1999/2000 when I
concluded that they were resting on their laurels and Epson and some others
had passed them by by in both pricing and quality.

Servers, PCs, CD drives, tape drives, etc. are products from other
divisions. I put no more stock in them than any other companies products.
Basically, these days, I look at PCs as being no better than their tech
support. Same junk assembled in a different location with different label
slapped on it :o)

  Absolutely... I won't use any other kind of printers at work. Their pc's
however, leave a little be desired compared to Dell's.

  Just a teensy response to those "some people". I own no shares in said
company but I LOVE HP. Everything I have ever bought from them worked
flawlessly and for at least a decade.

    My take on him too. Unfortunatley, like much of what you read on the
internet, this is pure opinion.

    On a side note - I followed a link the other day that basically had a
bunch of people saying they would NEVER use Norton products another one that
had a bunch of people saying they would NEVER use HP printers. Give me a
break!
