I've seen the advertisments for Gateway's 386-25 and the specs and price look attractive. Does anyone have experience with this machine, or with Gateway in general? What other machines would you recommend? Price is something of an issue -- i.e., I can't afford a Compaq or an IBM. I'm also less interested in a caching machine (figuring I'll spend the difference on faster ram). Any responses would be much appreciated.
