Paul, about Gateway and their business with corporations: corporations like to do one-stop shopping whenever they can. It gives their buyers and qual people less interfaces and work to do in general. They also get price breaks by buying more products from the same vendor. Compaq, Dell and HP have a big advantage over Gateway calling on corporations, because they can offer the PCs, servers, storage, even fiber optic stuff like switches in some cases. Gateway is basically a one product company in that regard, like a Micron Electronics. Big disadvantage. Tony
