This takes me back to my Gateway's I used in 1995-1997 for my job. I remember the excitement when I got a new PC and it had a Pentium II processor, three days before the official nod from Intel. They trail blazed bundling CDROM drives in PC's too.

I must be getting too old. I found out I share my birth day with Gorden Brown. Not the year I hasten to add.

Will they have the Fresian boxes again?

Why does Acer need a US company to distribute Acer products in Europe? Wouldn't a European company better suited? To give you an example, there is no www.gateway.eu at all, www.gateway.de belongs to a different Gateway, and www.gateway.co.uk shows up as a blank screen for me thanks to an idiotic Macromedia Flash-based implementation. As a European Acer customer I am wondering if Acer wouldn't be better off with a truly European distribution company. Personally I will not deal with Gateway.

Ooops, that would read MPC.
