[OPLINTECH] Desktops

I agree with James, go with Dell and forget Gateway. We have 30+ gateways
that came from MPC (they bought out Gateway's commercial & government
division. Then, after 2 years they went belly up. All of the computers have
the Gateway logo on them but Gateway will do absolutely nothing to support
them. I personally think Gateway has shot themselves in the foot, as I don't
think anyone with Gateway/MPC experience will ever buy or recommend anything
from Gateway, but that's just my opinion. ;^)

Make contact with your Dell State & Local Government sales 
representative. You'll get special quoted pricing from them and can have 
them build your machines from an image you create -- a great time saver. 
Dell has been very good for us in support, pricing for purchase, and 
leasing.   -- JG
