Based on my recent experience with Gateway, I'd suggest you
go to Dell and be better served..
I ordered a Digital recorder from Gateway on October 30th.. They
said they would ship in 4 days.. Then, when I didn't receive it I
checked and they advised me there would be a slight delay..
Later I got an e-mail saying they wouldn't ship until November
10th.. I waited once more and today found out the shipping has
been delayed again to November 24th with the caveat, "This may
or may not ship at that time"..
I ordered from another source and shortly after that got another
e-mail from Gateway saying I couldn't cancel since it was ready
to ship.. I then went to the second source and stupidly cancelled
that order..
Guess what? I wrote them again saying I hoped they had told me
the truth since I cancelled the order with the other supplier and
got another e-mail saying the shipping date was November 24th..
They are a bunch of idiots!!!!! Never again will I purchase from
Gateway.. I've bought 4 Gateweay computers over the years but
they have really gone downhill.. No wonder they are in trouble..
If you want a copy of all the e-mail correspondence, let me know
and I'll post them, leaving my name and personal information off
the message..
