<Hopefully the price fall through will occur in the next few days to 3 weeks. I will try to remind you in a few weeks, if I can remember.> Yeah, yeah; sure, sure. As if I'll kick you back a few bucks. Keep in touch. If you are getting back for the holidaze we must touch base. I'll send Jeff in the Bentley.

One last thing on that, I would not short Gateway just because their sales staff is inefficient. I shorted Motorola because their design on the Star-Tac was blatantly fouled up and worse, they refused to admit it. It's a lousy design and as an engineer I felt it was my moral imperative to make money off their arrogance---they insisted the design was fine. It was the consumer who was wrong. MOT may just have the worst customer relations department in the world and their stock reflects such. Buy all of it you like....if I can borrow it I'll sell it to ya.
