	I have been using a Gateway 386-20 machines for 2 weeks and am very
happy. Other colleagues have had Gateway's for at least a year. Early
Gateways suffered some problems (running Windows, etc.) but everything seems
solid now. I am ordering more Gateway's. They just lowered the 386 prices by
$150-500. I don't know about Zeos machines. You may call me for more pro and
con information on Gateway.
