Interesting. Sun gives away productivity applications; Gateway gives away
online services; Online services give away PCs. It's like the Book of the
Month Club: Agree to buy six books in the next year, and you can have Will
and Ariel Durant's The Story of Civilization absolutely FREE! Or maybe like
beggar-thy-neighbor tariff policies in the 1920s.
