I purchased a PC from Gateway 2000 almost exactly a year ago. I found 
their pre-sales service excellent, unlike the two other direct suppliers I 
tried. The only problem with the equipment has been the presence of four 
bad sectors on the hard disk but since they appeared and were isolated 
eight months ago there have been no recurrences.

Phone calls to their helpline are free and with only one exception their 
technical staff have been both knowledgeable and helpful. I am delighted 
with this machine and will undoubtedly consider going to them when it 
needs replacement.

I have no connection with Gateway 2000 whatever and have only been 
prompted to write this because of an earlier posting in this thread 
portraying a view of Gateway I find incomprehensible.
