This should help you choose which computer you are going to buy:
The country’s fourth-largest computer maker is taking to the airwaves in a bid to rally consumers against a copyright-protection bill that would prevent computers from playing pirated movies and music.
Starting Wednesday night, computer maker Gateway Inc. will launch a radio and TV ad campaign urging consumers to visit its Web site to download free music and learn more about a copyright debate that so far has been dominated by Washington lobbyists and corporate lawyers.
The ad campaign underscores the furor over a bill introduced last month by South Carolina Democratic Sen. Ernest Hollings that would prevent new computers, CD players and other consumer-electronics devices from playing unauthorized movies, music and other digital media files.
Let’s see. Dell hassles legal gun owners and federally authorized sellers of weapons, Gateway is spending their money promoting awareness of the horrible impact the Hollings Bill will have on consumers.
I am in the market for a new computer. My choice got much easier.
