Since Gateway went all Intel....

Since January, Gary Wilke has felt more than a little frustrated with his daughter’s $2,600 computer.

He took it back to the store he purchased it from — five times.

There’s been a new hard drive installed, a four-hour home visit from a computer technician and problems such as no sound and the inability to “burn” CDs, said Wilke, N512 Sonny Court, Appleton.

The computer still wouldn’t boot up when he got it home from the shop Friday.

When he went back Monday, he took the machine and told the staff he would take care of it.

He put the computer processing unit in the foyer of the store, went to his car, got what witnesses described as a “large sledgehammer” and pummeled it.

Wilke denies reports from a store employee that he used profanity.

Wanda, "Be my guest. I grow tired of your desperate rants."

That's ok, it was a long week. But I still cannot figure
out how did you get Albert's mail address, I don't recall
you requesting the one. Maybe you PMed him? Just let
the inquiring minds know... Or maybe you are short
on cash? $100 could make a good savings towards future
downpayment on used BMW...
