I ordered my Gateway 486-DX2-66 on Dec7. The shipping papers were dated
Dec. 22, and it arrived Dec. 28. Promised delivery date was 3 to 4 weeks.

The machine? Tower, 16 Megs (4 @ 4megs), 2Megs & RAMDAC on ATI board, CD-ROM.
No monitor (got my own).

The system started right up, but I had to reseat the floppy connectors on the
motherboard (no big deal).

It's been running like a charm for a week now. No glitches at all.

Re documentation: Everything was included: extra manuals for the ATI upgrade,
a manual for the CD-ROM, a 59-page manual for the Q/A Cool Tools Utilities,
and a 94-page manual for the Central Point Utilities.

The whole thing worked out just beautifully. My sympathies for those on the
net whose experience is quite different.
