	Well, I am sitting here in a classroom with 19 of the 
	Gateway 2000 386-20's.  Except for one thing, I believe
	we got a very good deal.  The first batch of 7 had a
	Seagate 4096 80MB hard disk.  I believe 5 were replaced.
	I cannot fault Gateway for the Seagates breaking down.  
	Of the other 12, one hard disk has failed, and one
	floppy drive has failed (disk media change, and just out
	of warrenty :-( ).
