Thread, just saw for the first time a Gateway ad on TV featuring an AMD Athlon processor. It caught my attention because up to now, I was so used to hearing those ads mention Intel processors. But then the narrator said, "... featuring a 600 MHz AMD Athlon processor ..." which immediately caught everyone's attention.

Everyone in my house went "Ooooooohhh." One of my housemates gave the thumbs-down signal and said "Boooo!". (You see, he's on the Willamette team.) I couldn't help but smile and notice how Gateway is taking their new relationship with AMD very seriously now.

Well, I thought at least this ad was more effective than that confusing "bullet train" ad.

P.S. - Makes me wonder whether Dell will receive a huge package of Pentium III's with the Gateway address crossed out ...
