	You can look up the article by Mike Faiman (see below) where
he summarizes the experience of Gateway users. It convinced me to look
at them. I also called TRW which handles repair for them. They reported
that Gateway products are very reliable, they've been in business for 4
years and have 50,000 systems in the field. They have very loyal
employees, do $15 million each month, and their assembly line is very
good. TRW doesn't stock spares right now, theu've just started their
association with Gateway, but if Gateway continues as they have been,
TRW will send their own people to training and begin stocking spares
across the country in their depots.

    My thanks to all those who responded to my request for information
about Gateway's clones.  A couple of people asked me to post the results.
Here they are.
