Can't understand why CPQ wastes their time fighting with these ankle-biters. E-machines is a flash in the pan that will fizzle in the next 6-9 months when they start losing money. Fez _________________ MORNING NEWS, OVER EASY PC Ad War: Compaq brings its bitter rivalry with cheap PC maker EMachines to a head Friday, when it launches a boffo ad campaign. Set to run in five major dailies, the print ads reportedly compare the Compaq Presario 5304 with the EMachines Etower 366i2. When profits are as miniscule as they are in the sub-$1000 PC market, things are bound to get nasty. Also, given that a majority of Compaq's retail sales come from these low-cost machines, it's no wonder the limping computer maker is feeling a bit territorial.
