Ah yes, the HP display malfunction. This was the primary symptom of the HPs I spoke about in my previous email.

I bought my MacBook Air because I prefer the operating system.  They are great pieces of hardware. It's as light as a feather and easy to carry around. There are people, like me, who have grown to hate Windows. 

I have a company-issued high-end HP laptop that is causing no end of grief. The NVIDIA Quadro chip is a disaster: the display stops working at least 12 times a day.
