Needless to say I am very : disappointed with Midwest Micro, and I am ordering a system from : Gateway 2000 instead (fingers crossed).......... : pk I have bought about a dozen P5-60 machines from Gateway 2000 have have nothing but good things to say about them, in fact another order has just been placed with them. After dealing with a number of losers from Computer Shopper and local companies I do not believe the company will ever buy from anyone else. I hope your experience with Gateway 2000 is as good as mine. Let me know how it turns out... Mark (mmanyen@crl.com)
