re: "Official HP Independent Hardware Vendor, ..."

This has always been a source of some amusement around here.  As far as I
know, there is NO third party HARDWARE program (of course we OEM stuff, but
that's different).  They are about as "official" as a Halley's comet
T-shirt.

In their literature, they also claim that their discs "support" certain HP
computers, which, of course, is backwards from the normal SPU/peripheral
relationship.

Nonetheless, I've heard no complaints about their discs.  In fact, I haven't
heard anything from field or customers.  I presume that they are selling a
viable quanity, since they have been around for at least three years.
