Message: [QUOTE="Bighorn, post: 115206, member: 20035"] Some historical memory of the changes in the last several years: these were in computer-oriented news and one was HP buying Compaq to get their Proliant servers, Gateway bought eMachines to get a 'value' line and in turn was bought by ACER, IBM spun their hard drives off to Hitachi to HGST then spun their computers off to Lenovo and Dell bought Alienware. More than a couple hard drive brands have merged to others. I use HP and Dell computers [both Desktop and Notebook], have an ACER Aspire Notebook, wife has a Toshiba Notebook, they all do much the same jobs but can have the same foibles at times. Google Chrome machines can be as expensive as PCs but Apple's Macs beat both on that front, had one but too expensive to repair. [/QUOTE]
