Great. The more I think about this, the more I like the deal of GTW buying CPU. GTW has a market cap of about 10 billion, and CPU's current market cap is only 0.7 billion with $400 million in cash. It will be a steal to buy CPU now. I hope GTW management is reading this thread and push for the deal. It is a great opportunity. With this deal, I think GTW will get the recognition it deserves by Wall Street and compete more effectively with DELL.

I dont get it either,as you said numerous upgrades,and no bad news at all for them,were is the logic?Low PE relative to competition,and looking for stellar earnings...Have you ever been to a gateway store,I went to a grandopening two weeks before christmas,and it was packed ,they were processing at least 20 orders all the time while i was there ,non stop..It was very impressive,and gave the consumer a chance to actually see the equipment before buying,and the sales force a chance to sell them up!,,,,....EZ ALSO,setting up of the stores didnt look like they put hardly anything into fixtures and frills,concrete floors{barn motif}etc...
