[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Gateway update: good news!

Hey get a load of this people,

You may recall that I placed an order for a Gateway 386 system
on Feb 19 and was told that it would be shipped on Feb 5,
Then they called and said it would be delayed a week.

WELL ...
today, I received a call from Gateway, and lo and behold,
they said they WILL be shipping today and I should expect to
receive my system on Thursday.

Hooray!! 


Phil
The Gateway purchaser.

  Isn't it refreshing to deal with a company that ACTUALLY CALLS YOU
to keep you updated on your order?  How many other places would 
initiate a call to tell you they were going to delay shipping?

Just another happy Gateway customer,
