To tell you the truth, every Gateway I've known has had many random hardware failures. My father's Gateway has had the hard drive, graphics card, and cd burner break down on him... there's a reason they sell more tv's than computers.

It's interesting. Lately, I've heard from a lot of Gateway users that they're fed up and will try Dell next time. I've also heard from a lot of Dell users who are fed up and say that they will try Gateway next time.

I wonder of Gateway and Dell have come up with some deal (modeled after American politics, perhaps?) to bounce customers back and forth between thoem, by convincing everyone that only those two choices exist.
