- It's a funny situation. A year back a friend and myself bought G2000's,
- I got the desktop (stupid me, it's huge) and my friend bought the
- tower. Both 486/33's.
-
- Both had the WD multi-port HD controller; mine had a joystick port in the
- back of the machine while my friend's only had it on the card but no
- space to plug it onto the box. He called Gateway to have one sent but
- I think they didn't sent it (or they did not have such a piece). Finally
- he bought a game card.
