Tony, half time at the SEC championship game. RE:"They are kicking butt right now, but don't tell me it's because of AMD chips!" Don't laugh but I think it has a lot to do with the cool looking Presario cases with the interchangable candy colored fronts. To a lesser extent the Athlons allow them to offer slightly higher Mhz but others have that so I won't use it. RE:"They barely make money in PCs." True, but at least with unit volume the "PC is dead" crowd can't say much. RE:"It's the youknowwho based servers that are cleaning up." True...but maybe you can explain why server buyers aren't as good a shoppers than PC shoppers? Why to server buyers shell out all those bucks? Seems like someone would demand a server at a PC price (plus the other goodies). RE:"Storage and services are next, then the very high end (NSK) products. They just have to lose the "mostly PC" image as far as the stock is concerned." Agreed...so how does Gateway go about tackling these more lucritive markets? I guess Dell did it by virtually installing servers on a "we will stick it in now, pay us if you like it basis"... Jim

RE:"So with the hundreds and thousands of election related posts, are we getting anywhere? Is it Gush, or Bore?" It only makes sense to Lawyers...they think all this is really cool. Meanwhile the rest of the country wallows in anguish. Jim
