Well, if you can provide the additional support that's great, but I
need to be absolutely certain that the vendor I buy from is going to
be able to do all the tech support.  I don't know if it's just that
Gateway has themselves prositioned as a consumer vendor, but it's
really easy to stump their tech staff.

Personally I do almost all of my full-system deals through Dell.
They've always gone out of their way to make sure I get the info I
request and the answers I need.  Their PowerEdge servers need work--
I've yet to get one to work with anything other than NT--but all of
the workstations and desktops I've ordered have been a wonderfully
smooth installation.
