emachines....whether or not they are "actively" selling product is not the issue. The question should be "can they continue to profitably ramp sales" in the face of the $99 e opener, the $649 (including monitor) low-end Dell PC (no gimmicky keyboard involved) or the promised Intel web-PC coming later this year. In order to get to the promised land of those high-margined internet sales that management loves talking about, they've got to keep from losing their shirts on the hardware side while keeping sales momentum with a questionable offering against formidable competition. It's a model that doesn't seem to be working in the PC/internet world, and it ain't gonna happen here. Time to bail and head for other pastures.
