However, about the company's decision not to use Athlon chips, the spokesman said: "It was a business decision based on one line of products at one given point in time. Our current product line is already meeting the needs of high-end users quite well.">> To my eye, this is a highly hedged statement from Gateway, especially the phrase "at one given point in time" - highly definative of time-frame in trying to say that we shut you down this time, Athlon; you still have a chance later on. What's your read into this statement?
