GW2K or Dell?

[Judy Anderson]

We've been running Gateway 2000 machines in our student technology
center for almost 2 years.  They have been great!  
We have had a couple of monitors die, and a few drives, but with
3000-6000 students a month using them I can't complain.  
Gateway also gives excellent service for replacing the few parts we've
had go wrong.  

I haven't used Dell recently, but that's just because I had such erratic
luck with them a few years ago. The "was this put together on a Monday
or a Wednesday" syndrome. In checking with a few people here who ordered
them, they still have some consistency problems, especially with their
laptops.
