I was working at a small mom & pop computer shop at the time. We sold a lot of Compaqs until the acquisition. Suddenly we were unable to get preferred technical support, had difficulty fulfilling large orders (50+ machines), and it was nearly impossible to get any OEM software that was supposed to ship with the machines.
