Well, the DeskPro *brand* was retired, but I'm pretty sure the part of HP that was Compaq still offers a line of "business class" desktop computers, or whatever you want to call them. I hate Compaq (religious reasons), so I haven't really paid attention to what they're calling there stuff these days. FWIW, Dell and Gateway do this, too, to different extends, and I imagine other vendors do, too. With Dell, you've got two lines of desktops: The Dimension and the OptiPlex. The hardware is nearly identical; it's the software configuration, service and support, and lifecycle management that vary. And that's a big difference if you've got a fleet of tens or hundreds of PCs to manage. -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do | | not represent the views or policy of any other person or organization. | | All information is provided without warranty of any kind. | _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
