Dan0, Re: "I think Gateway has learned its lesson as far as relying on a single source for CPUs is concerned ... Just speculation." ROTFLMAO ... You might want to try "hoping and praying", as well. That seems to be your "investment strategy". <ggg> Make It So, Yousef

AlibiDan - Re: "Dumping AMD as a second source may be one of the main reasons Waite has stepped aside as CEO. " What an imagination you have ! Gateway LOVES AMD. Ted Waite Loves AMD !!! Maybe Waite is stepping aside BECAUSE he allowed AMDawg device into Gateway in the first place ! Ever think of that, ALibiDan ? Paul

RE <<<Too bad, really, he was always more interesting and had more common sense than most. Then he decided to depend on Intel - oh well. Just speculation.>>> Dan, you may be right. I think he bought into the California dream. He made that expensive move to San Diego probably to be close to intc even though San Diego is in the southern part of the state. And then intc turns around and screws him...making promises that it can't possibly keep. Of course intc is happy because now it won't be the only major corporation not making earnings this quarter. GTW will keep them company. Just some more speculation, of course. ted
