Fan noise with the 400S, SP and SP Plus by
Observer3
I've been reading customer reviews of the Gateway 400S, 400SP and
400SP Plus at cnet.com. These are all notebooks. Most of the reviews have
been favorable, but one reoccurring complaint has been excessive fan noise.
Anyone else have this trouble?

Need restore CD for Gateway G6-233 mini-tower by
Bob Mac
I was given a Gateway G6-233 mini-tower as a donation for a needy
student in my class, but the donor erased the HD and doesn't have the
restore CDs. Does anyone know I might get a set of these or, at
least, a start up disk so I've got drivers and can install another OS?
Thanks.

Hello. To those of you who have a laptop, I'm curious to learn what

Data exchange w/ 400SP laptop by

My 5 year-old Solo 5100 laptop is beginning to show its age, so I'm casually
looking at new laptops. Gateway's 400 line seems attractive for what I
want, but I'm concerned that in the 400SP model, which has the 14.1" screen
I want (not 15"), there is no option for CD-RW. You get a DVD-ROM,...
