 I don't agree at this point. I don't know about other mail order
company, but for Gateway 2000, their tech support is satisfied so far.
They will try hard to contact you if you tell them you want to
talk them, and they are not available immediately. As for the machine 
they made, I don't have any opinions now since I got their machine one week 
ago ( 386SX ). Their price is not the lowest, but closer. I order form them
because I heard some good things about them from this news group before, and
their price is pretty good. I am still testing machine, and also have some
thing needs to talk with them. I may give some more information about
their machine and service in the future.
