Makes my job selling a quality computer SOOOOOOOOOOOOO much easier
all it takes is them owning 1 emachine gateway or compaq

Dont forget that Emachines and gateway merged this year to make more crap boxen. I only reccommended a Dell to a aunt that I dint feel like making a 300 mile service call to fix it. I also told her she needed a 3 yr warrenty as they will use it.

dell just opend a new call center in my city. They answer in less than 1 min. now. b4 i always got routed to texas and it took all of 15 min to get a real person.

I have dealt with over 6 local dealers and only one has not screwed me, the rest are all run by asian gangs im sure, uber low prices, only 7 day warranty on parts, and when you call the manufacturer they tell you its refurbished so your SOL.

sure the $550 models are probaly scary, but thats we we buy optiplex business machines, casue thats what we use them for.

gateway is done, dont know what they were thinking buying that titanic e-machines.. the sucktion from it sinking will surly pull them in to.
