This is because Milan has apparently failed to recognize a) clone companies
are constantly shifting their hardware, in Gateway's case to attain better
performance and compatibility, and b) that therefore you can't really talk
about a "Gateway machine" - you gotta talk in terms of the BIOS, the mother-
board, and other hardware.

I'm sure Milan has had troubles with his machine.  I'm equally sure that
you have been completely satisfied with yours.
