"Misery, heartbreak, sorrow, and despair. No, I'm not talking about adolescence; I'm referring to what happens when you're stuck with a PC from Hell. Systems that were overpriced and underpowered, parts that failed two days after the warranty expired, marathon phone calls with brain-dead tech support staff - over the years we've suffered more than our share of ills, and so have millions of other innocent PC users. But picking these 10 Worst PCs of All Time wasn't as easy as it sounds."

It is really to bad. Back in the late 90s early 2000s Dells actually cost a little more then the average PC but people bought them because they were very high quality. (Much like people buys Apple Today) But they decided to get into the budget PC market. Which over time makes their perceived quality much lower. The same thing happened with Gate way during the Mid-90s During the Mid 90s Gateway 2000s were the PC to get they cost a bit more then the others but they were high quality. Then Gateway started competing with the budget PC and Quality Dropped and Dell came in and took its spot. I was originally going say AlienWare would take the spot but Dell bought them out.

This is true
My 1998 gateway solo 5100LS is still working till now; while 2004 gateway solo died with electric shock that grooved the optical disk drive leaving a streak in 2005!

Dude... you're gettin' a Dud. ;-)
