A few years back, one of my sisters recommeded Gateway because she had had good luck with them (and she had previously bashed Compaq--back in the day). So I purchased one for Dr. C. It was great, and I eventually ordered several Gateways for her and for my personnal use. Then Gateway sold off their Business business. I don't know what I'm gonna due for the next purchase. But from what you've said I won't be choosing a Toshiba.
