Gateway to Buy EMachines for $235 Million

I just bought a Dell for $558.

I have a 3 year old HP desktop which HP and Best Buy knew it had severe freezing problems and they swept the whole series of 8655C machines under a rug.Try rebooting 3/4 times a session on FR.

Since that time I have dumped the desktop and have been fine w/ a used Thinkpad T-20 w/ 14" LCD and a wireless router.

I won't buy HP again. I may never buy another desktop box again either. Laptops are currently cutting into desktop marketshare and for good reasons.

Its nifty having a computer on your lap and your legs in the up position as you relax on a recliner.

Its always different strokes for different folks.
