Oh Gateway Gateway,

 Well they have gotten too big for their own good. I have had one heck
 of a time getting through to them ! I just had a typical example:

  Phone call to Gateway: ( this is not just ONE call but a "standard" GW call)

	 Get GW recording .... wait wait wait :
	 Person "How may I direct oyur call"

	 I "Sales please"
	 Person "Govt, Business or personal ?"
	 I (dumbly) "Personal"

         Hold .... wait .... wait ... wait

	 Recording "All sales reps are busy please wait for the 
			  next available"

         Hold .... wait .... wait .... wait ... Loooong time.

	 Person: I'm sorry but all our reps are busy now:
	  I can take a message or you can try back later.

         (Here I have WISED up !, If they take a message ...
	 FORGET it Gateway NEVER (at least for me) calls back! )

         Here I want to CURSE ... but what's the use ... not her fault.

         I: "I'll call back later ... (sweetly)"


	 Now you may say "Don't you kave a "direct no" ?
	 Yeah, but it's NO better.  Maybe worse!

	 Steam rolls from my ears:
	 *!#$%$#* Gateway. $^&&$%^!!! em 

	 My $.02
