Nevertheless, it does appear that a first-tier inet company is partnering with a second tier pc company. My view is colored by my personal experience: my Gateway motherboard had to be replaced 24 hours after I bought it, customer support was spotty, and Gateways's isp service was the biggest joke on this planet (living on the left coast i could only get through from midnight to 6 am, would get timed out if my SI post took longer than 15 minutes to compose - doubt i would be posting now if i were still with them). But then again, i've even heard horror stories about Dell pc's. I remember the good old days with my Compaq 386 - worked like a charm for 3 years. Never had to call Customer Support once. Fierce price and feature competition has eroded product quality for all pc manufacturers, i fear.
