Fire sale is right. IBM may want out of PC business and it may pay for them to be rid of it. Perhaps Gateway would risk going out of business without a deal. IBM's franchise seems more interesting. There were rumors last year about an ibm purchase of dell with MD taking over the helm at IBM. Who knows? mike
