Cool....Good work, Macko.
I keep watching Gateway's stock price fall day after day...I find comfort in that.
I think this is probably a desperate measure on their part...
Ah, well....Apple was here when they got started...and it will be here...when they file bankruptcy..and become part of HP, too lol..

Nice Image of the Jag, but not of a dead cow...ugh!
Actually, Gateway makes great computers...yeah they did rip off apple with their notebooks and now with their desktop. But, they are pretty solid everytime I have ordered one (wha!!??). And the salespeople at the Gateway stores are pretty cool and don't come directly from used car lots like alot of the CompUSA's and Circuit City's. I like the whole cow spot logo thing. It is all about the country, man!

Gateway is completely void of any innovation, and their latest advertisement has guaranteed that I'll never recommend their products. They've resorted to pathetic mudslinging now. At first it was just annoying when they copied everything Apple did (remember that crappy all-in-one Gateway that tried to imitate the iMac?) But now they look plain idiotic.

I work for Circuit City and I didn't come from the used car lot. Actually, I came from Colgate University. I needed the cash and didn't want a real job. I'd say only about half the people at CC come from used car lots. Most people are my age looking to make money (good money) and we ask if you need help or have any questions because we do work on commission. The good salesmen won't try and talk you into something you don't want, but want to make sure you get something you can use. The salesman hasn't done his job if you intend to do a lot of gaming or graphics stuff and you walk out of the store with a 1.2 GHz Celeron.
Whatever, I've seen a lot of PC users coming in asking if we have Macs. I tell them no and in fact tell them all about how great Macs are and send them to a local store down the road that deals with Macs. I may not make any money off that customer, but at least I know my day wasn't spent selling for the darkside and not helping out the Mac community.

Well, winning customers is one thing, but Gateway is just being childish about it.

Dude... It is not a person fault if they can not get Windows to work right. Microsoft has positioned themselves as a solution for "personal computing"; then they had better be a solution and not a hassle.
My parents have nothing but problems with Windows (and or) their computers... I walk them through the fixes on the phone, but how is that their fault.....? Bad engineering and an unusable interface is not the fault of my parents. I don't think Windows is devoid of it's good qualities, but it a very LARGE burden for the common user.

Then there is no good OS yet for the common user. I hear the same thing from Mac users. As an experienced computer person, I can get any OS to sing, and on much slower hardware than the average user. Why is it that Win2k flies on my P3-500, where whatever MS OS runs like crap on others' much faster PCs? Same for Macs. A friend who knows crap about computers got an iLamp and said that where she thought it would be the easiest thing to use it has been a pain.

I am not talking about speed of an OS.... I am talking about how intuitive it is to use. And there is a huge difference between OS X and Windows. My mother can not even get a new computer with Windows XP because she tried to use it and it confused her (bless her little non-tech heart) on the other hand she had no very little problem with my mac (which until I bought it she had never even seen a mac). I think that says a lot about usability.
