The system (20 Mhz Gateway 386) that I ordered (on 2/19) arrived yesterday (3/8) at noon. Yes, the system works. (-: I'm pretty satisfied with its operation. Based on my experience, if you're looking to get a 386, I can recommend Gateway's. It seems to perform very well, and as advertised, and was delivered promptly for mail order (even if my order might have been sped up if some Gateway person happened to stumble across my postings on USENET (-: - as has been suggested to me by an emailer) Oh one caveat ... The text on the monitor they sent with the system is not as sharp as my old Sony 1302. One might consider not buying the monitor from Gateway. But the overall GATEWAY system seem excellent so far.

One footnote on the Gateway monitor (Tatung Crystal Scan 1024 - $500), that comes with the 20 386 System, though as I mentioned, I thought text was nicer on my old Sony 1302, for graphics (painting, flight simulatoring, etc.), the Gateway Tatung monitor is excellent and has a nicer picture than the Sony.
