  14. I would never buy from Gateway again.  I bought a 386/25 from them and after
  15. seeing all the specs, I thought that it was a good machine.  Well, within my
  16. 1 year warranty, I had all 3 drives replaced, 2 monitors, 1 video card, and 1
  17. drive controller.  At least it was under warranty, so I only shelled out

  19. machine from Gateway.
