Hi K. All these items you point out are worth noteing, however, there is another, in my opinion bigger fact: GTW did not make money when the leaders like Dell did. It is hard to overlook something like that when deciding which company is where in the food chain. Last market share numbers I saw, don't have them avaliable now, said DELL and Compaq took market share from GTW. Steve

K, Awards are nice, but I'm the only one I know that ever read that thick phone book, much less purchased a copy. A reader survey they do has got to be so far off the normal scale ... Any of the majors can pick nice sounding fluff from the PC mags they advertise in, and PC mags are whores of the first order. So while it sounds nice, for your fiscal health, don't bet the ranch.
