I was a normalfag until I discovered GNU/Linux in 2008. What the fuck is that? I need a quick rundown.

You're still a normalfag, dumb frogposter

How can you be old enough to have been using Linux for almost a decade and not know what Gateway is? I bet you don't know about eMachines either.
They were the best computers. Fuck Apple, Dell, and HP.
And anyways, we drink cow's milk so why not use Gateway computers?

>we drink cow's milk
Not for long

I'm using an emachines keyboard right now. My last desktop was a gateway. I still don't get the pic in the OP.

I've got a modern Gateway mini PC but it's just an Acer rebrand. RIP.

Dell guy was more effective IMO.
I still don't understand the cow thing, guys.
Were they calling us cattle?

Do you think there's a warehouse somewhere full of unassembled gateway boxes?
>>59851478
I've never thought about that but now I hope there is

I wonder what the Dell guy is up to these days
Didn't he go to jail for a while for something? I remember people saying "Dude, you're gettin' a cell" for a while, mocking the whole ad campaign.

I had one for college
Had the original 1GHz Athlon in it
Shit was so cash but they used shitty hdds

They were all destroyed on the Great Iowa Flood

He got busted with a decent amount of weed but I can't remember if he actually did time or if it was just pro-b
When I was a kid, Gateway computers were so awesome and looked amazing, but I was never able to get one.

I still have one of their ~235lb cases from 2001 somewhere in the house.

They were pretty legit. I'm still using my vx920 from 2001
