FURTHER UPDATE:
I've been out of town - just went to PO to pick up my mail (was
stopped).
I saw a "rebate check envelope" (tear-apart sides) from HP and since I
was stopping at the bank anyway I brought it on with me. I opened it
there and .... guess what? .... it's a " sorry but you do not qualify
for the $30 rebate" letter. No check.
I'm now calling them back - AGAIN. Two months - STILL they have not
sent a check.

UPDATE 2:
When I called, she said:
" That letter was regarding the previous ( the incorrect) notice. ( from
november !): disregard that."
Then she said " the rebate check is in the mail"
Famous last words, huh ?

FINAL UPDATE:

I've been out of town for 4 weeks - just went to PO to pick up my mail.
Lo' and behold - in the pile are 2 checks from my Black Friday purchases
:
1 from HP ($50) and 1 from CompUSA ($230) - checks
dated 1/24/07 . Case closed.

my memory is still working right, the poster above helped me with a problem
I had with my FIRST EVER laptop [Toshiba] That's gotta be 8 or 9 years ago
