My brother is considering buying a Gateway 2000 computer and would like to hear of any relevant experiences from Gateway users. The machine he's looking at is a 25mhz 386 unit with 1 mb of 60 ns memory (expandable to 8 mb on the motherboard), 1 32-bit slot and several 16-bit slots, a 1.2 mb 5.25" floppy drive, a 1.44 mb 3.5" floppy drive, an 80 mb Seagate 28 ms hard drive, a 16-bit Paradise VGA+ board, NEC Multisynch II monitor, 2 serial ports, 1 parallel port, MS DOS 3.3. It comes in a tower configuration and has 30 day money-back, 1 year warranty. Price: $4195, with 4 mb: $5195. It sounds great - I just spent a fair amount more for my 20 mhz Everex model. Any comments on reliability, technical support, etc.? -- Mark Harris mail:harris@ecsvax(UUCP/BITNET) Department of Mathematical Sciences Appalachian State University Boone, NC 28608 (704) 262-3050 office, 264-6906 home
