 Get A Gateway. They give their customers a free 3 year, 24 hour, 7 day a 
week, onsite reapir service contract wihe thier higher end machines (P133 and 
P166). 2 friends of mine just took delivery of 133s and 166s and I have had a 
liitle bit of experience lately with Gateway's tech service. Out of 5 times 
called to ask stupid questions mainly regardin Win95, there was never a busy 
and we got a human immediately.
 
 I am completely envious. I've been trying to reach a human at Dell for weeks 
without success. If anybody really there any more?
 
 Wish I'd bought a Gateway, dammit.
