NORTH SIOUX CITY, S.D.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 18, 1998--
Top tier direct-order company garners top awards in support and
home products
Gateway (NYSE: GTW), a global leader in the direct marketing of PCs, today
announced that it has won three World Class Awards from PC World magazine. PC
World has the largest circulation among technology trade publications. The awards
named Gateway as Best in the categories of Hardware Support, Computer Mail Order
Company and Home Desktop PC (G-Series).
"Gateway is honored to be recognized by a publication like PC World in these
categories," said Ted Waitt, Gateway chairman and CEO. "What makes this recognition
even more distinguishing is the breadth these awards cover, from our service and
support to our products, as well as who the recognition comes from, both the editors
and readers of PC World."
Celebrating its 16th year, the respected World Class Awards honor the top hardware,
software, and Web products in the computer industry. To select the best of the best,
PC World's editors, testers, and contributors examined the entire gamut of products that
have appeared in the magazine over the past year. Hundreds of products in 60
categories were judged on performance, value, consistency, and innovation. The
magazine also polled its readers to name the best companies for hardware and software
support, and for buying computers via mail order or online.
"The World Class Awards are synonymous with the best products in the industry,"
stated Cathryn Baskin, editor-in-chief of PC World. "Throughout the year, we search
out the standout players in hardware and software for our readers. The World Class
Awards allow us to shine the spotlight on the outstanding products and companies that
have consistently proven to be top performers in the marketplace." |
