Yes, I am aware that Gateway bought e-machines.

Are you aware that the CEO of e-machines is now Running the show at Gateway?

I think they purchased e-machines as they are able to a good product at a lower
cost.  Let's see if the "new" Gateway machines are of better quality and cost
them less to build.  They do need to make a profit.

Negative cash flow doesn't build confidence from purchasing and IT managers when
computer decisions are being made.  They want to know that the company will be
around next year etc.
