When Gateway (or Gateway 2000 back then) were the only real alternative in the IBM PC clone market they were the darlings of tech and business publications. They were very much like Dell in that they were the victims of their own success.

In 1993-94 timeframe we phoned for tech support on one of the standard multi-line AT&T phone systems (speakerphone). We were put on hold....for 1 and one-half days. We muted the speakerphone, went home, returned the next day and waited and waited until we were finally put through to a tech.

You need to move. :) I came from small town Ohio to Detroit a couple of years ago and moved up from DSL to cable. 6MBS is smokin’. I love it.

Moving isn't the issue. I had cable one prior to DSL. Dang thing was out more than it was up, both for programming and internet. Although it was three years ago, when we switched to DSL from Cable One, there didn't appear to be any difference in download speeds. I'm certain today it would be different.

That’s totally amazing... It’s gotta be the longest hold-time that I’ve ever heard about (or, at least, that anyone has had the patience to wait for...). LOL

Well, something Arkies can be proud of! The real Arkansas motto in the past has always been..”Thank God for Mississippi!”

Now, it might be “Thank God for NM.”

But I still wish I was in NM!

Sorry, I would have responded to you sooner, but this darn slow connections.

Are those Z-Coils on his feet?
