Follow-up to a net request for info on Gateway 386-33 vs EPS 386-33:


Netland has more experience with Gateway2000 Computers. I guess
this is because Gateway2000 has been around for a few years and
EPS was started in the past year by a former employee of GW.

Most GW owners were *very* pleased with the quality and support
provided. One nit was that the DOS 4.01 that was ordered from
GW was a PHOENIX slim verion wrt documentation.

The philosophy behing EPS was to sell a box in direct competition
with GW, using better components. E.g. Orchid Pro II 1024x768x256
in 1 Mb (EPS) vs ATI Wonder 1024x768x16 512k (GW), SONY 1304 non-
interlaced (EPS) vs NEC 3D (GW), 160 Mb Micropolis HD (EPS) vs
150 Mb ? (GW)

Neither tower configuration is FCC B approved

Prices on both machines are dropping to the extent where you have to
call to get the price du jour

summary stats:

of 12 responses 10 happy GW2000 2 happy EPS.

Hope this info was helpful. Thanks to those that responded.
