Sniff.... Sniff.... Do I Smell a sense of humor??
I have a Gateway Celeron 400MHZ (whatever that means*s*)Had for over a year. No major probs. at all, pretty good tech support, warranty, package etc. Would definitely buy from them again. Have had couple friends highly recommend Dell though, saying they're the most reliable overall unless you're gonna build piece by piece with parts from each company. I need to upgrade desperately! Get 64MB memory at least. I only got 32 *smacks self* And, i've heard Pentium is the best too. Bla Bla ..*G
That's my 2cents worth. Good luck Blanca! http://www.hostboard.com/ubb/smile.gif

the gateway guy was nicer...*EG* and sounded cute...*L*
OK, I am getting a dell ,the guy I just talked to on Gateway was a butthead..........so he can say goodbye to the sale...*S*
Okay i am gonna tell you what my brother says..... he is a tech.... he says that it doesnt matter what kind of comp u buy.. they are all the same.... its the programming they come with that is the most problem *nods lots* so there ya have it buy what you want but be careful of what programmin you get on it....
------------------
Everyone thinks i am insane.... all but my friends deep inside the earth......
As an experienced POS computer user *G* I've been told, and I've talked to many....that Dell are the people that back what you buy with repair and tech support....forget about the AOL thing, AOL would be the last reason I'd buy anything *G*....*mumbles POS* *G*...I'd make sure that the comp was expandable for memory and expansion bays for future cd re-writers or such?....just, ya know, a thought or two? *L*
I bought the Dell.........thanks peoples....*S*
just waiting for it to get here now..*S*
MACINTOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't know anything about computers.
The one I'm on now was something in the apartment I wound up living in.
For the longest time I used it as a place to stick post it notes to myself.
I'm learning as I go.
