Re: "Now if they have indeed made a deal, we need an insider to blow the whistle or we will never know." But you will always believe. Let it be noted that I have asked several times for a explanation of how Intel's deal with Gateway differs from Coke's deal with McDonalds and all you have been able to present is the suspicion that Intel must be doing something wrong, even if we don't know what it is, can't define it and have no evidence to present about it. To use your analogy, even if we can't see it, can't watch it walk and can't hear it quack, it still must be a duck because you just really want it to be a duck and your buddies really want it to be a duck to so by majority vote, it's a duck. So if a non-duck wasn't in the forest in the first place and nobody was there to hear it anyway even if it was there which it wasn't , did it still not quack even if we all really wanted to believe it did?

Billy Jack - Re: "Since we lack the full details of the deal all we can do is surmise what is was that Intel and Gateway entered into. I am sure it was couched in terms that would try to defeat any anti-fair play or anti-trust implications, but as they say the final test of a duck(....walks, quacks etc)... means that if that contract ever sees the light of day and certain people apply the duck test to it.....well, it just might be a duck." We can now conclude that you too are a duck. And a quack. Paul
