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).
