This some times sure makes a person feel better . Been there done that .

I am having big trouble with my HP Colour laser printer Loved it for the first 3 months now it says that I do not have HP cartrages . I have been comunicating with HP for the last 5 weeks we ahve reprogramed to the printer twice they now say that they are shipping me two new Cartriges . Thre times they have told me this I finall got One cartridege the othere is out of stock They sent this one too a town not mine and not even close in spelling Talked to them again via email and they said sorry 5 times now and that the Black would go out monday to again the wrong town I again said the had the wrong address and time will tell any bets I do not get a cartridge this week . $400.00 and it will soon end up in the same place as you hand held and 6 new cartridgest at $100:00 each going to the same place .
The comunication they just add to the bottome of the last letter is now 8 pages long

All my other computers and printers are HP. Last time I called their service centre I was given the run around about them providing HD Recovery CD's. Quite frankly having been a Mac user since day one,( I have since switched to PC) Microsoft should take a page about system structure, features, and system stability from Apple!

I use the Gateway tablet. It has lots of power and speed. it works great with Homegaue and it has a battery that lasts all day. My only concern with it, is that it took me about a month fighting with gateway to get it straight. I love the computer now but I would never buy anything from Gateway again!
Good luck on your search.

Actually I am looking at Gateway tablet on the net right this moment. Its $1299 Cdn. Along with the following:
Corel WordPerfect Office X3, and HP Printer Included (219.99 value. After mail-in rebates.)

Jason,
Can you use the screen without using the stylus pen. In other words is it a touch screen?

Thanks,

Aaron,
I believe (or at least heard) that all "M" series accessories are inter-changable. But dont quote me on that, call and ask before you buy.

If you bought a Toshiba lap top this year I just saw they too have a recall for new batteries .
I wonder how long it will be till the smaller PC get a call back.

Raymond,

You have to use the stylus on the screen. The good thing about that is that you can change the screen around to 4 different locations so that it suits the needs of the report you are using. I use homegauge and I use it the long way so I can see the whole page.
If tyou have any more questions I will be more than happy to answer them.
Good luck there are so many choices.

Thanks Jason, I appreciate your feedback!

If you are still interested in the Motion Tablet PC - I'am offering NACHI members a 6% discount on the tablet and accessories. You will not be sorry you purchased one. Our friend is a home inspector and pilot. He purchased the LS800 and has it mounted in his car, does all his inspections with it, then takes to his plane to use approach plates with the tablet. They are powerful machines and the View Anywhere Screen is patented and the best on the Market. Motion has the higgest percentage of sales on tablets in the market place over competition.

I would be happy to answer any more questions or concerns you have on the tablet.

I'm playing around with a borrowed Motion 1600 right now, and am quite impressed!

There's a lot of this machine I have yet to understand and explore, but Nancy & Kent (above) are invaluable resources for Motion!

[Nancy L. Nelson]

Thanks Russ. You will find them invaluable on the road. They are so lightweight, they don't feel like a tank to carry around. I love the bluetooth and the wireless capabilities of them. Makes you wonder how anyone conducted business without them.

Enjoy

Has anyone had any experience with the Acer tablet? I heard they are quite good. I personally have an Acer desktop and it has been great and quite competitively priced.

I have used the Acer and it is a very good unit, It is usually a lot less than other computers. Acer is now the 3rd largest manufacturer of computers in the US.
