re: GATE, Dell, MOT

10/28 BusisnessWeek talks about the Feds yearend (Fiscal year end Sept 30) shopping binge.
"....Two of the biggest winners Gateway 2000 and Dell, Gateways 4th Q govt sales were an estimated 41% of its $155 million yearly total. Dell's 4th Q take: est 40% of its $89M total...."

I wonder how much of their sales is to the govt?

Also Steve might answer this one, Motorola is touting their PowerStack and StarMax computer line for Windows NT/MAC OS /AIX
Much competition to Wintell in your opinion. And do you know anything about the BE Boxes? Apple is rumoured to buy them out.

And a footnote on "wholesale" component pricing (small dealers)
modems - slowly down
cpu's - p75-133, even
- p150+ drifting down
HD's - down slowly
mem - over the hump and coming down
