<<As an aside, the company that I work for just went through a round of PC upgrades to Pentium 200's with 32Mb ram and 2 gig hard drives. We hope this upgrade will last us Microsoft's ram and hard disk hungry upgrades. We didn't buy our PC's from Dell. Gateway had much better prices. >> Sounds like you work for the same company I do. :} Seriousely though, We've been switching from Mac's to Gateway PC's for over a 2 yeras now, and predict we will be Mac free in another 2 years, as the older machines obsolete and people upgrade. Pentium 200's with 32Mb ram and 2 gig hard drives w/ 8 or 10X CD's are now standard configurations. Apples are going out, PC are coming in. We standardized on Gateway's for desktops and Toshiba's for Laptops. Dell's are a little bit more pricer. The other reason we don't favor dell's is their use of a proprietary motherboard and ram. I don't know if they still do this, but in the old days, upgrading the ram or motherboard in a dell system meant having to buy components from Dell. This inflexibility and offened made upgrading not as competitive as buying a new machine. Chester
