    Default Fuck Gateway

    Way back before christmas the power supply blew up on my laptop. It was still under warranty from Gateway, so I called them and they did this deal where they mailed me a box, I put it in the box and mail it back to them, etc. Except they'll only deal with me through one address. So they mail my mom a box. She mails it to me where I am. There's no DHL there. A few days later I get to a place with DHL and mail it to them.

    Three weeks later I get it back and it works ONCE and then stops working again. I call them and they're like, "oh, we'll mail you another box." I was like fuck that shit, I'll just get it fixed here because I cannot function this long without a good laptop. But it turned out that I couldn't get it fixed there because no one had the part. So they mailed my mom a box, I mailed my mom the laptop, etc. I just got it back, took it out of the box, plugged it in... and it doesn't even turn on.

    Fuck Gateway.

    I wanna call their customer service people, but my phone doesn't work in this little fucking town I'm in. I wanna just go get a new damn laptop, but all there is here is WalMart and I want a good laptop (mac?) not a walmart laptop.

    I hope nobody ever buys another Gateway ever again.

    I've purchased all of my Mac's from their website, and the shipping is insanely fast, and free if you purchase $200 or more.

    Other friends that also use Macintosh have had the same experience. The cool thing is that the machines just don't break down all that much. I've had my current laptop for 4 years and not a single day of down time in that entire four years (I use it almost exclusively).

    I know that Mac's are expensive, but I've found that it is totally worth it to have a reliable computer.

    I have a gateway and that's all we have ever had for computers. We've never had a problem BUT it helps that DH used to work for gateway and can fix nearly everything.

    Sorry you had issues Lena. A friend of mine had a Dell and the same thing happened to her.

    Gateway sucks. They use low grade parts. I bought a gateway laptop a while back and it wasn't compatible with windows vista ultimate even with their supposed upgrade cd.

    I returned it and bought a Sony vaio. Sony rocks!

    I got a new computer!!!! I wanted a Mac, but I was given a $1k walmart gift card, so I ended up with a Dell Inspiron. 2 gigs of memory, 160 gig hard drive, and built in webcam!!! Plus I think if it breaks they're a hell of a lot better than Gateway.

    Good luck. Dell used to be pretty good at customer support; I've heard their phone support isn't very good now. Buy yourself a really good surge arrester, like an APC. They have 'em at Walmart. And use it.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.
