[Ham-Computers] Asking for help upgrading memory

[Dave 'Doc' Corio]

    A couple of months ago I would have agreed about their service. My 
old unit was repaired under the in-home warranty 8 times! The ninth time 
it had a problem, they wanted me to send it in. Since I still had the 
in-home in effect, I balked at that. Customer Service basically told me 
"too bad". A letter to their CEO, however, prompted a complete 
replacement of the machine, with what turned out to be an even better 
cpu. While I may be a bit reluctant to buy another Gateway, I do have to 
admire that they made the problem right, albeit a bit belated.

    I haven't yet pulled the existing memory to visually check it out. I 
really thought it would be a straightforward process. I was wrong. Again.

Tnx es 73
