Sir, - There have been announcements recently of lay-offs at the large computer producers Dell and Gateway, apparently, in one instance at least, due to the fall in the home PC market. In December last year, I was in the market for a PC and I wrote to one of these companies and phoned the other. So far neither has responded to my request for information.
Are they surprised they are losing customers? - Yours, etc.,
Celie O'Rahilly, Chapel Hill, Castleconnell, Co Limerick.
