Unacceptable at best. > By and large I have been very happy with both my Gateway machine and the support I got from them. The one problem I had was solved reasonably quickly. I did have trouble reaching them at first (they were very busy and the Techs took a day or two to get back to me) till I found out the way to do it. I took out a book and called their toll-free number. Then, after getting through, I told them I'd rather wait on hold then have them call me back. It took about half an hour of waiting (they were busy and I can understand this) but I got through and got the problem solved (and got some reading done). -- Jim Mann Stratus Computer jmann@vineland.pubs.stratus.com
