- I believe you on that point, since you have included the model number. :)
-
- I think it would be much easier if we all referred to Gateway's monitors
- in that fashion since that's probably the only way to distinguish the
- actual manufacturer and model. Statements like "all Gateway monitors
- suck" or "all Gateway monitors are made by ..." hurt the company's
- image unnecessarily in the event of a poor product. They do enough
- damage on their own! Gateway doesn't help matters much by putting
- their name on the monitors, either, since that's where all the model
- confusion came from in the first place.
-
- By flaming specific products and not the entire company, we can inform
- other readers of problems to avoid. Like the Gateway Telepath. I have
- heard so many problems about them that I won't even try one. On the
- other hand, I have been happy with the 386DX-33 I bought from them and
- would definitely recommend Gateway's computers to someone else.
