I'm writing this on a seven year old Gateway laptop which is still going fine. I bought it in the UK - cost a fortune then! - and if Gateway still had a presence I would certainly go back to them for a desktop - they are stylish and good at their jobs, if not the cheapest.

The Gateway lifetime tech support was invaluable when software screwed up, and when a little bit fell off the front after about four years they just posted a replacement FOC.

No connection BTW!

Well, how should I put this? If you are here in the USA on a GC, then you are dicing with fire my friend. It is a Federal offense to use pirated software and you just admitted that you intentionally and knowingly use pirated software. That's a felony. If you are on a GC you risk a felony verdict and a deportation notice. But if that is what you seek, "then be my guest".

Just got a new Dell desktop (not on my desk though ), very cheap, gig RAM, 160Gbyte hard-drive; flat-screen, CD burner, Pentium 4 (I think) and upgraded to XP-professional. Works like a dream so I can recommend Dell computers... but I can't recommend Dell printers - they are, imho, NAFF. HP printers are FAR BETTER, yes can be a tad bit more expensive but FAR BETTER and are very reliable. Just had to replace a fast Dell 1700n printer upgraded with an extra-sheet feeder (but very problematic in use) ... but had to replace it ... got a HP LaserJet 1320, which though slower is FAR MORE reliable. Will never buy another Dell printer, imho they are Crapola Inc.

But there's always an exception to the general rule...

Aye, not always cost of buying them either, it's long term use...cost of ink cartridge/toner that should be considered...better to buy a more expensive printer that will be cheaper to use in the long run...HP is good, so is canon, especially the laser ones, and also epson are really good...
