- They have been shipping the modems for the past week or two.
- They are sending out 350 modems/day in new systems, and flooding the
- backorder list. They should be all caught up in 2 weeks, they say.
- Also, apparently, the TelePath 14.4 or whatever seemed to have gotten
- good reviews by a few on the net. I ordered one as well, and I'll post
- my findings ASAP.
-
- As far as Gateway in particular, they seem like a semi-consciencious company.
- They're definitely not rip-off artists and they won't be leaving the industry
- anytime soon. (They sell 2,500 systems a day)
- They also seem to have one of the best deals as far as bang fer buck.
- (emphasis on the 'bang')
