VIA. Never again. I bought a KT133-based motherboard a while ago. Endless problems with Windows 2000. I was always waiting for the next '4-in-1s', with promises that they would fix all the problems. They never did.

Creative Labs. Never again. I bought a number of products from them, including a SoundBlaster Live and a GeForce2 card. Most suffered driver problems, especially in Win2k. Their support was downright useless.

SonicBlue Rio. Never again. I bought two Rio MP3 players from them... the original Rio, and the original RioVOLT. Both crapped out after a few weeks.

Compaq. After I'm done with this laptop, never again. I've owned this laptop since September and already it's almost falling apart. Plus their driver support sucks. I tried for weeks to find a WinXP driver for the 'Easy Access buttons' on my keyboard. I used their support forums. I gave them my exact model number. I got half-a-dozen suggestions, none of which worked.
