I have read so many negative comments about Gateway and their machines
that I thought for a change I would post a positive comment just so
newbies might know there are people who have been happy with their machines.
In Oct 98 I purchased my Gateway G6 333 mghz with a EV700 monitor. I
have used this machine daily. I have added addition drive
along with PCI cards additional memory and a tape backup, the only
failure I had over the past 7 years was a floppy drive (LS 120) which
with no hesitation Gateway replaced. It has and does every thing I
needed done. I have enjoyed using it and even though expensive (to me)
at the time would buy again.
I plan on running it as long as it will do the job and the machine
holds up. While just 7 years is not all that long, I am sure there are
others out there who have had their machines even longer and are just as
happy with them.
As far as this user knows Gateway right along with other manufacturers
do the best to put out a good product. Most of the time all you ever
read about any product is from those who get a lemon or have real
problems with their machines. I just thought I would post from a happy
user who was satisfied with what was sold.
