Comments on: Gateway sells professional biz unit to MPC

Gaterway's "professional biz" unit a Big Joke!

This is too hysterical! Gateway computers are pure shit. No self respecting IT manager would ever allow a Gateway purchase for his facility. The only people that buy any Gateway are the unsuspecting louts that listen to recommendations by professional Media Hacks and notorious radio whores like Marc Cohen out on the Worst Coast USA. This clown can barely program a VCR, but he takes Gateway goodies for free trade on radio payola recommending them to his few listeners that can barely plug in a computer. Oh, there are more like him all around the broadcast media too.

If MPC is buying this unit from Gateway, it's time for IT manager to write off MPC too.

Thoughts from a School Dist IT Dir.

MPC is Great

I'm no fan of Gateway, at least not in the last few years, but I really like working with MPC. They have the best service I have ever received and they actually seem interested in helping instead of just doing their jobs like robots. When I call in to tech support I find I'm rarely even waiting on hold and the person on the other end knows what they are talking about and doesn't just follow a set script.

Don't write off MPC - they are really good to their customers. We became customers of theirs because of a buyout a few years ago and I'm quite happy with them.
