I have used GW2K computers since the 386-16 was the top of the line computer.
>From my experiences with Gateway,  I can say they are great systems. I have
even carried it one step farther and only purchase computers from the factory
outlet store. The guarantee is the same and usually you get more computer for
the dollar. It might be in more memory or bigger hard drive or
soundcard/speakers or software or larger monitor.

At my previous company we had two GW2K computer running almost continually
(24,7) for 5 years. Problems with them consisted of 1 monitor and on 5  1/4
disk drive had to be replaced.  

I personally have a 486-25 for 4 years and have not replaced anything on it. 
 I recently purchased a P5-200 from them and hopefully I will have the same
luck with this one. Reason for buying a new one, I needed more memory and the
speed for things I was doing at home.

The company I currently work for had over 120 Mac and 1 Windows 3.11. We now
have over 160 computers, 60 of which are W/95 machines, 54 are GW2K and the
others are IBM Think Pads.  We needed quick delivery on the portables, IBM
got them to us in 3 days, only reason to buy.

My recommendation, buy GW2K. E-mail here at work if you have any question
that I can help with or call me by phone also.
