HP Acquitted - Computer Owner Blushes

Ginowan, Okinawa (AP) - It turns out HP doesn't stand for (Mis)Handles Parcels. In an earlier story, a shadow of doubt was once again cast upon HP's competence. After a rigorous investigation, the truth has come out. It turns out the problem was a clerical error by the merchant combined with a hasty assumption made by the new computer owner.

"When I got the computer back from F-S [name omitted for store-anonymity] there was a CD attached," new HP owner Raj Raichura explains. "I just assumed it had my son's data on it."

Raichura further revealed that he quickly made a back-up copy of the disc before sending it off to his son. Turns out the CD was filled with pictures of a stranger, and songs no longer in the possession of Raichura's son. At his request, we are not authorized to divulge his identity.

The Raichuras have agreed to try anew to get the data from the HP to the new Acer, somehow. Our coverage will continue as the story develops.
