Peter, Despite some sharp pencil accounting on the earnings side, Gateway did miss their consensus revenue target for this quarter, which they ahd previously lowered from a higher level. It wasn't negative, that's for sure, but it did not come in as high as expected.

They did have an odd statement that they grew twice as fast as the overall market, which would put pc revenue growth at 8 1/2%. However, I think they mean home pc sales numbers, as they have no way of knowing business sales numbers yet. And that sounds like the total is kinda low, as I think home pc revenues came in up about 12% for the industry.

Whoa! That's a new one on me. They keep coming up with fancy, imaginative ways to value these companies, don't they?
