[clue-tech] Any experience w/HP Pavilion good or bad?

[Will]

I have a 6 month old Pavilion laptop and just bought another tonight.  We
like it and HP gives a pretty good bang for the buck.  The wireless card is
not currently supported but in Linux but the driver is supposed to be in the
next Linux kernel.
