I have also posted this in the Hardware/Technical Forum. I Just heard it on Irish radio and TV, Gateway is pulling out of Ireland and the UK as of next month. And since it's European manufacturing headquarters and technical support are located in Dublin; that means Gateway is probably leaving Europe as well. A total of 1,100 jobs in Ireland alone are gone, (200 some months ago) and 900 more now. So if you live in Europe and were thinking of ordering a system from them, well, I would think again if I were you. Another victim of the downturn in tech company fortunes. :0( STORM
