We resell Gateway PCs bundled with our plasma cutting machines (the PCs control the plasma torch movement across the cutting tables). Gateway has been seriously dicking us around for the last few months. Usually, we could get a shipment of 15 PCs delivered in about a week. Lately, it's been more like a month or two - maybe. The shitty part is, they gave us every excuse under the sun for why the shipments were taking so long (here's one: a bunch of hard drives went missing when they moved from Mexico). It was all complete BS. If this Acer buyout doesn't somehow make the shipments get back to normal (I don't know why it would), I'm sure we'll be done with Gateway/Acer pretty soon.
It kinda sucks for us because we really partnered-up with Gateway in a big way - it's gonna be a bitch to switch to a different vendor - but they treated us like dirt throughout this.
Ugh.
