I'm glad you had a positive experience, they are notorious for having
bad support.
I had a sheer and utter nightmare with HP trying to buy an extended
warranty. Got forwarded to India. They just told me blatant lies, and
quoted me wrong prices with inferior features -- and told me I wasn't
eligible for anything else. Called the Web store -- and they said "of
course you're eligible."
One of the Indian bastards claimed to put me on hold and I could hear
him breathing and clacking. He was just ignoring me. HP must have
bought the most horrendous outsourcing possible.
I finally had to escalate it to HP's "crisis level" organizational
support by calling their switchboard and explaining how awful it was.
Shudder.
