As you may know, when you first purchase your HP system, the maintenance was either bundled into the product through a warranty or provided at a low cost.  As time passed, the cost of this maintenance increased until your product was declared End of Life.  At this point, the cost of the maintenance skyrocketed and you were left with few choices other than to upgrade to newer systems.

What if you didn't want to upgrade !!
