  Having been through this a few years ago, here are two things for
which you can look. Does the Warrantee card say anything about an
authorized dealer? If so you lose. Does it say "original purchaser?" You
lose again, the first owner who is not an authorized dealer is the o.p.

  However, if the organization from whom you bought the Compaq didn't
handle the warrantee itself you might seem to have made a bad choice of
suppliers. Most of these places will give you a year warrantee (or N
months) and I suspect that they return the defective goods to an
authorized dealer for credit.

  My opinion? You were lucky to get this covered.
