Oh, by the way, HP sells its OpenView products to Dell, plus many other
products that Dell installs on its computers and resells to you, the unwary
consumer. IBM is in fact Dells largest supplier of components, along with
HP, Compaq, Toshiba, Sony, HP, Acer and a host of lesser known component
manufacturers. In other words, Dell is not a real manufacturer but a
reseller in wolf's clothing.

By no means is Gateway a real manufacturer. They buy from many of the same
manufacturers that Dell does. One of these days people may just wake up and
say hey; IBM, Sony, Toshiba, Hitachi, Fujitsu, Canon, Acer, and many others
are the real manufacturers, patent holders, R&D companies out there.

What does this all mean? You are bound to get some lemons and you are bound
to get some good machines, because everything is coming from just a few
companies!
