I am so something that I saw something else.
I saw Hewlett Packard mainly because I just ordered a new laptop. No, scratch that: Some months ago, I ordered a new laptop, and Hewlett Packard sat on my money for a couple of months and then sent me a laptop directly from its factory in China which I just received. And rather don’t trust now that I’ve seen where it shipped from.
You know what else marks one kind of a person from another? Getting a new computer/laptop/device and immediately thinking, “Eh, what a chore to set it up” instead of “Cool! I can’t wait to try the new version of Civilization/other game that I bought this computer to run.” I mean, it marks me old that I still run computers for the most part and don’t get excited–or even get the latest mobile devices until the battery on my current one cannot take a charge. But it marks me older yet that I don’t jump right on the new computer, either.
Also, I am not much into gaming on the computer these days, so I don’t need the gee-whizzery of the latest modest improvement.
And even though I saw Hewlett Packard first, I think the other two are more fun.

UPDATE: I am not alone.
I immediately thought Hewlett Packard too. I worked for them for a short time…
I am beginning to suspect that the third type of person is the IT professional.
