Yeah, the HP was mine before it became CB's secondary comp. It was <$500 bought new in 2008 and the Compaq was my wedding present to CB, bought in 2007, but it was slightly higher end at the time then the HP ever was. A lot of places are already having their "back to school" laptop sales so if it costs more than $300 to fix might as well just buy a new one.

There are probably 4-6 of us here that inherently know that they're the same.
