This thread mirrors the discussions we have here about cars and trucks and Yoopers computer/printer problem reminds me of my rants about how I can't buy a 4wd pick-up with a stick and manual hubs anymore.

Everyone gripes about the "big three" that are (pick one): trash, going bankrupt, over priced, under engineered, etc.

There must be a Toyota in the computer world.... perhaps Sony?

That said, I have had four Gateway units in recent years and the only real problem I had was the lap top I bought in '99, which survived a drop on a concrete floor and finally just wore out in 2004..... but 5 years on a laptop is not too bad.

And yes..... the Gateway laptop I am typing on right now was made in China and half the Gateway tech support people cannot speak a version of English that I can understand, but that seems to be our version of a brave new world.

Half the guys who built my new roof last year and all the guys who did the painting spoke no English at all.

Doesn't leave many choices.
