Byron, This may make some people out there completely freak out, but… I know of several instances where Gateway has shipped computers with VIRUSES already on them! When I got my first Gateway five years ago, it came with the Jerusalem-B virus on the hard drive; Tom Hudson also got a Gateway some years ago, and it was virused. This is horrific beyond imagination: when the PC you get comes directly from the factory with a virus already on it. Sure hope they've fixed this problem the last few years, but be warned: check any new computer you get, just in case. It *can* happen. — Jon
