This is the latest watercolor from Conley. His paintings of fish and birds are incredible.

Fed Ex delivered an empty box to me today to return my laptop to HP and have the touchpad replaced.

I talked to a very nice technician (who also spoke English!!) who walked me through a few things to check before I return it. Nothing worked, so it is going back. And what is wonderful, it is still under warranty! Close, though. I bought it Feb 16 of 2009.

I never could find a number to call to return an item under warranty. So I finally called the first 800 number I found. When the pleasant robot automated voice came on and asked me questions, you know, the ones that recognize your answer - I just kept answering "I don't know" or "none of these", etc. Eventually you get a real person, and you tell them what you need, and they put you through to the correct department.
