This is apparent. As JC said, a lot of hate goin' on. The tone of the GTTW announcements are what's so surprising. PB, I agree....GTW's whole approach has been surprisingly unprofessional. My take is that they were made to look foolish in some way; I suspect they bought into verbal promises that were made and then broken, forcing GTW to go along with an unpleasant scenario. Plus they have the additional embarrassment of having to prewarn.....GTW is not a CPQ; it usually makes its quarter. ted

RE:"BTW, what do you all think about GTW continuing to participate in the Intel Inside program? All the commercials I've seen this weekend are still touting PIII's and Celerons. I don't totally know how this stuff works, but it seems that relationship is awkward in light of GTW's stated position."... Money talks, GTW will participate lest they create a competitive disadvantage with OEMs that do. OTOH, Intel could pull the offer from Gateway....in which case Gateway would be in trouble and be calling Dresden. Jim
