I've also noticed that GW2K's solution to many problems is "reinstall Windows
95." 

Gateway tech support has resulted in my doing many service calls, to restore
settings for our Cable modem service lost when the cust reinstalled 95.

I wouldn't personally buy any pre-built machine, (as I would build one myself)
but if I *had* to, I would go with a Dell.
