Gateway cuts more employees
My modest proposal for Gateway
1.)They need to redesign their logos to Red-White-Blue
2.)Start donating Computers to some Non-Profits and other Charitable Organizations
3.)Hit the advertising circuit demonstrating the history and evolution of computing in America
4.)Hire tons of unemployed Customer Service Workers shed by HP/Compaq and put them in Customer Service Centers in various states across the country. Commit to eating the costs
5.)Ask in a National Ad Campaign if Computer Consumers are tired of their calls being transferred overseas. Stress a commitment to keep as much business as possible located stateside and that every call will be answered by a citizen of the country that made the computer/software industry what it is today.
Outcome
Either make a bundle and revive a company that has allowed its market share to be eroded by competitors
Or
Go down in a flame of glory and get-it-over-with
