	Then there's the possiblity that the people with the dough have
	such because they put out a good product...Gateway computers,
	for example.  I know of several persons w/a Gateway and they 
	are satisified w/'em.  Don't break down, that's fo' sho'.

	BTW, i recently ended a subscription to PC MAG because they
	had too many bloody adds, too many reviews of stuff i'll not
	use...liked Zachman's articles, though.
