Sorry to hear this. Gateway lost their way when they left Sioux City. They were outsiders with good ideas and were hard competition when I worked at Midwest Micro back in the early 90's.
However, now thay have nothing that sets them apart from any other company. It's sad, I hope my Dad dumps his Gateway stock.
BTW, My dad went to high school with the Waite bros. father in Sioux City, Iowa.

You worked at Midwest Micro? I bought one in 2000 and it was a great maching until my house got hit by lightning last fall. Where did MM go?
Running a Gateway now to replace my piece of charcoal, I'm happy with it so far.....

Yes, I remember the time I was about to buy several Compaqs, but I decided to buy Gateways instead because they were in Sioux City. Then they moved to California and I vowed to never buy another Gateway.

Everyone I meet from Iowa seems to know the Waite brothers, or at least one of them.
