C|net: Gateway snags 5-year UA contract worth $45 mil

According to C|net editor-in-chief Michael Kanellos, Gateway has nailed a 5-year, $45 million deal with the University of Arizona to become the campus' leading technology provider. Kanellos makes it sound like something new, but I have reason to believe that it's a contract extension, as Gateway has been a major x86-architecture provider for labs and the exclusive x86 provider for the UA Bookstores "Computing and Technology Store" for at least the two years at least to my recollection.

I think Dell used to have a contract like that; a lot of the older units on campus are Dells. I'll need to visit campus again to rethink this.

And, as for the biochemistry department, it seems everyone there is absolutely in love with their macs.
