- By and large I have been very happy with both my Gateway machine
- and the support I got from them. The one problem I had was
- solved reasonably quickly. I did have trouble reaching them at
- first (they were very busy and the Techs took a day or two to
- get back to me) till I found out the way to do it. I took out
- a book and called their toll-free number. Then, after getting
- through, I told them I'd rather wait on hold then have them call
- me back. It took about half an hour of waiting (they were busy
- and I can understand this) but I got through and got the problem
- solved (and got some reading done).
