joss, gtw sales have done ok, but by no means can they be compared to cpq. cpq's unit sales were up nearly 60% and gtw was up just slightly more than half that.

it is just flat out difficult to make money at these levels. the guy where i bought my computer added in a $270 warranty package without even asking. of course, i made him remove it. i don't even think the retailers are making more than a few dollars and that is why they are aggressive with the flim flam warranties. that is the only way they make much profit.
