I think the reason we get so many AOL CDs is because college residences have so many people live at one location. Not only that, college students don't care so much about which mailing lists they end up being signed up for, since somebody else is going to get the junk after a year anyway. AOL sends one CD to each person every so often. In a place that has had 25 people live in each room over 30 years.... and 20 rooms....

HP does seem to make some good high-end computers. Their desktops, on the other hand, have just been a big steaming pile of dung in my experience.
