Two years ago i had a similar situation with the HP support :-)

My DDS-DAT Drive was broken and i called the HP support. The HP Girl was really friendly and asked me a lot of questions - maybe 5-10 minutes or so (everything about the drive, serials, type of defect...) - and here it comes! The last question from the HP girl: "Is this product hardware or software?" .... silence - for some seconds on my side, then "Hardware..."

But i got a new drive the next day for free from HP!

This conversation just took place moments ago.


Me: "Hi I'd like to order a replacement hard drive for my proliant server. I have contract for 4 hour support 24x7. My serial number is ___, the part number is _____"

HP Guy: "thank you please hold while I transfer you to the person that can help you"

Me: "Sure"

HP Girl: "Hello How are you today?"

Me: "I'm fine how are you?"

HP Girl: "Fine thank you. I see you are ordering a replacement part for your server. I'm sorry but your contract is only valid between 2006 and 2007"

Me (after a pause to reflect): "...isn't it 2006 now?"

HP Girl: "Please hold."

Me (to self): "you have got to be [EMAIL PROTECTED] kidding me."

HP Girl (same girl as before): "Hello how are you today?"

Me: "I'm fine thank you. Can I have my drive please?"

HP Girl: "certainly. can you please tell me the part number?"

Me: "The part number is ___"

HP Girl: "I see you have 4 hour service, 24x7. Would you like the drive tomorrow or today?"

Me: "Ummm today... within 4 hours?"

HP Girl: "Oh ok!"


Sometimes I wonder if this is all just a big joke... as if maybe someone was recording a video of my reaction to play on some tv show. But it's not. It's real. I just don't get it lol
