  I wish I could say I was surprised.  In general, I find most vendors
are incompetent at the "consumer" level.  To get real vendor support,
you have to seek products which focus on a more sophisticated market
segment.  Engineering, CAD, media production, etc.  They cost
significantly more.  And worse still, you still don't always get what
you're paying for -- you get incompetent consumer support at premium
prices.

  I'm in a somewhat similar situation, trying to find a laptop which
is suitable for use in a dirty factory environment *and* features a
graphics chipset meeting a fairly narrow software compatibility spec.
I can get one or the other, but not both, it seems.
