Troubled Times at Gateway

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the dire-straits dept.

conq writes "BusinessWeek has a piece looking at the future of Gateway in the light of the recent announcement of the departure of their CEO. The article revolves around the question: 'Will the sudden departure of Wayne Inouye and a slumping stock price leave the computer maker open to a buyout or takeover?'"

    Bullshit.

    I worked as a tech at CompUSA in high school, and we charged double the price per hour to fix Gateways because they were such pieces of shit. This was in the 486 days, right about the time you are talking about.

    And the 16 megs of ram bit is total BS too. Gateway, like everybody else, didn't ship machines with 16 megs of ram until Windows 95 came out.
