HP has the touch screen pc that is very space saving and I have seen a couple of others in PC World magazine that are all in one, one is the monitor with the entire pc built into the back of the LCD the other is a keyboard with the entire pc built into the keyboard. If I had a major space issue I would consider one, the main drawback that I see is that the insides of them would be very tight and not easy to do work on them or replace parts. AVERATEC - All-In-One PC HP's TouchSmart 2 all-in-one Cybernet Lenovo IdeaCentre 600: Thinnest (Hottest?)

The hard drive problem I described with my Sony computer was the result of a Seagate drive failing. Some, but not all, of the Sony all-in-one models I described had this particular Seagate drive, and it apparently had a problem with the firmware that caused the drive to "brick" [i.e., totally lock up] without warning after months of perfect performance. Although it wasn't a hardware problem, and could often be fixed by somehow re-flashing the firmware if it was taken out of the computer, it was not something the customer could do over the phone. They did a recall and replaced them with another brand that has worked fine so far. Fortunately, I got it fixed under warranty, and fortunately I had backed up the important file contents to another drive. But it's just another illustration of why you shouldn't wait to do a backup. Even new(er) computers can fail, and that even long-time, name brand manufacturers -- like Seagate -- can have big problems. While I was waiting to get the computer fixed, I used my laptop computer to do an Internet search about this drive problem. I found that there were a lot of people with other brands of computers who had bought this drive as an upgrade who had the same problem. Seagate apparently was willing to replace some drives under warranty, but not to un-brick the drives and send them back so people could recover their data. As you can imagine, there were a lot of unhappy people over this. I had only backed up critical files and documents, so for me it was a matter of reinstalling the operating system, all of my programs, and then the files I had backed up. People who trusted in the Seagate name and hadn't backed up critical files lost everything.

So, let me get this straight? He cheated on you with BM (yuck - at least it could have been with someone better!!) and yet he has never felt that he should be considerate of your feelings when telling you that "you should be the bigger person," etc.? He has always "taken her side" and you have always felt that he valued her feelings over yours. Before I knew about the cheating, I thought the entire situation was stinky but now that I know - how could he seriously say the things he has said when looking into your eyes and knowing that he betrayed you with her and was continuing to betray you?? I am furious on your behalf!!!

Wow, thanks for all the experience sharing. So I did place the order on All-Clad thinking that there is a W-S close to work, so I can bring the unopened box back if I change my mind after learning others' experience, but only after I order did I learn that it will not be shipped out until later. My beautiful countertop and beautiful cooktop were installed yesterday, but I don't have any induction compatible cookware! So, I decided to try Tramonita. The Walmart I visited does not have a SS cookware set, and online says to be shipped by Dec 24. That would be too long of a wait too. So, I did not order. Today, while visiting stone yards to search for a slab for my bar tops, I stopped by a Costco on my way (far from home), as it turned out, they had the live demo from MasterCLAD! I ended up buying a 11-pc set (three boxes combined) for $600+50(tax). Still a lot more expensive than Tramonita, but I think it'll be worth it if it's everything they claim to be.

View, CA store. The only negative I already saw was the the lack of pouring rim in the sauce pans and pots, but I think if I like the product, I can live with that, or maybe I can try something like this: Now, the question is which color. ;) This post was edited by mudworm on Sat, Dec 15, 12 at 23:40
