They ordered a MILLION of these things!!!! (modified 0 times) gr8_brit Profile OK, check this news report from last June out. http://www.taipeitimes.com/chnews/2000/06/01/print/0000038394 I can't really think they actually MADE that many.. but there has to be a large number on a shelf somewhere... Phew... Gateway and AOL really went for broke on this little machine.... Lucky for us?? Just posted it for info... Cheers, gr8_brit 05-11-2001 10:21:00

RE:They ordered a MILLION of these things!!!! (modified 0 times) 02U2 Profile Makes sense why they eliminated the ide header, Just think of the cost cutting savings of that part alone times 1,000,000 05-11-2001 11:07:15

RE:They ordered a MILLION of these things!!!! (modified 0 times) smee Profile Leaving off parts makes sense. Ever making 1,000,000 of these things doesn't. I have no idea how many Gateway has sold, but unless they've really been selling a lot lately, I doubt they stockpile many in the US. This last week certainly makes it look like they dropship on demand from Taiwan. 05-11-2001 11:12:23
