Is anybody around here an owner of a Gateway2000 computer? Do you have any bad experience with it? Any serious troubles, except for some NEC-3D monitors? Any crashes? Gateway2000 computers seem to be really cheap... too chip. I'd like to buy one, but I certainly don't want to have any big troubles. And this computers haven't been put, as far as I know, into PC Magazine endurance test -- so you're my last chance. And what about compatibility? Do MS-Windows and Unix/Xenix/XWindows run smoothly? TSRs and Borland Turbo's too? MS and non-MS mice? Other keyboards (esp. Northgate)? Please answer by e-mail: fs@uwasa.fi Thanks in advance fi.

I have both floppies, two half height harddrives, room for either a internal DAT or CD drive, and room to add more cards. With the smaller footprints somethings gotta give. The GATEWAY 2000 SX was written up in January (or Febuary) in PC Magazine, also was compared in a January issue of InfoWorld. My only compliant? I wish I had two of'em. mark -- edwards@macc.wisc.edu UW-Madison, 1210 West Dayton St., Madison WI 53706
