I am posting this instead of using mail in hopes of cutting down on a few
of the seemingly hundreds of requests lately that all ask "Is Gateway good?".
Of course, posting this won't help any if folks don't READ any of the news
before they post...........<SIGH>
I check in on 4 different national nets regularly and all the answers have 
been the same.  I have yet to see a SINGLE unhappy Gateway owner.  I certainly
am happy with mine.  This is not to say that the company is perfect but when
a problem does occur, it looks like they always handle it to the customer's
satisfaction.
I did see one complaint just yesterday that would indicate that Gateway
might be doing TOO good.  It seems that some folks are having trouble      
contacting their sales force to place an order.  This might mean that 
shipping might be slow too (pure speculation on that point).
My advice is "Go for it, you probably won't be disappointed" but start
placing your order well in advance of the time you really need the 
machine.  There might be some delays.
