It seems to me you seriously misunderstood the original poster.  I saw
nothing which indicated he did not get manuals or floppies.  Quite the
contrary.

To quote the original article:

I believe you owe Gateway a big apology for slandering their name like
this.  You should be very sure of your facts when you publicly accuse 
someone of theft.  I just hope you haven't done them any serious harm.

I tried to mail this to you but gave up after two failed attempts.
