>>yourware is one very expensive machine any way u look at it.....thats good for gateway if they sell a lot of them.<< For some reason I thought being competitive and reducing costs might be more important at this stage of the game. Call me nutty. <g>

pru, good to have your opinion on board. this most certainly isn't just a bear thread, though. maybe when they report crappy eps after management misled the gulli-bulls. but, not normally. i don't see gtw's yourware move as anything ingenious. it doesn't even appeal to me. you see, i can do the math ;-) most math challenged people aren't in line for a computer. therefore, gtw's yourware alternative doesn't appeal to my type of person and i don't think i'm the only one like me out there. maybe i'm wrong, though ;-) good luck and thanks for the explanation.
