3DS&Pentium
I'm working with something similar. Totally unrelated to top secret
robots taking over foreign governments, but it also involves motion
control and robotics. We may want to talk about it.
As far as the Gateway Pentium goes, the price looks right. I just read
an article in PC Week about these second tear manufacturers profiting
of Intel's goofing around the PCI architecture (although the fact
that this Gateway is based around the same PCI makes no sense to me).
Regardless, this all means that Pentiums are going to be hitting the
market stronger, cheaper and sooner than expected. Wait another
couple of weeks if you can though…
By the way, the 30-day back thing. When do they start counting it?
When you order it? If it is, make sure they deliver the machine
before that time is expired!!! It may take them well over 30 days to
start shipping the thing.
