The idea, more than anything, is to use eMachine's established relationships with retail outlets to try and get the Gateway digital stuff like cameras, TVs, etc(some of which are actually quite nice) into the stores, along with the PC's.
I'm not sure how it's going to work out, but the CEO of eMachines is taking over both comapnies post-merger. Maybe he'll have more business sense than the founder and actually play off the company's strengths instead of jumping off in an ever-shifting list of random directions. Of course, given past choices with the cow-box company, it's going to be hit or miss.
They're going to hijack Sony, Toshiba and all the other manufacturers out there that make CD-RWs and DVD-R/RWs for creating hardware that is used to pirate software!
