Larry thanks. It would be interesting to see all 3 box makers - GTW, DELL and CPQ duke it out on the same site based on price and features but I have a hard time imaging that scenario. Guess we will know more tomorrow. Luck Marshall

This is also the only way it could go. Some time ago CPQ outfitted its computer keyboards with a button that launched you directly onto AV site. I am sure there are all kinds of other relationships. As correctly pointed out, Dell/GTW would not be our friend. They want to do their own thing. Teaming up, to a degree, with the largest PC maker in the world is not a bad idea. There are probably a lot of cross-promotional things that can be done. Developing AV (or AV/Lycos or AV/x) into a ISP portal and advertising it heavily with every CPQ computer comes to mind. Maybe following the GTW lead "For $35/mo you get a computer and free ISP access through AV". Lots and lots of combos.
