Ah! The cowprint Gateway box! That was a ridiculous but kind of great bit of marketing. I always wanted a Gateway for the box. But we got a Dell... :(

My first desktop computer (meaning the one I got to keep in my room and never had to share) was a Gateway. It was already a few years old, but when the monitor suddenly cratered they offered a replacement for a really good price.

Dell ruined those guys when they bought them.

I miss the times when computers used to be interesting. My work laptop says CORE i7 vPro But I don’t even know or have any interesting finding out what it stands for. I used to know these things.

One of my hobbies is collecting old Silicon Graphics computers. And yes, my collection does have one WebFORCE Indy worksation.

We used to have a Portégé at the office back in the 90s...

Awesome! I don’t know much about the Silicon graphics workstations but I know a lot about modern laptops and desktops. You probably have an i7-4600U processor, like I do for my laptop.

Dell never bought Gateway.

Gateway ruined themselves when they bought eMachines and let eMachines’ CEO run the company in place of Ted Waitt.

I don’t know where it is and they might have gotten rid of it.

I used SGI Indigos and Octanes to run CAD programs in the 90’s, and to play BZFlag on the company network during lunch.

They were pretty superior compared to PCs in the 90’s. Many of SGIs have been used for CAD modeling.Weird that I haven’t found any games in my collection.

I did check it and you are indeed correct.

I stand corrected. I thought, for some reason, that Dell took over Gateway and ran the brand into the ground.

That’ll teach me to get my facts straight. Thanks for telling me sans pedantry!
