Gateway Inc., attempting to overhaul its personal-computer business after three years of losses, agreed to buy profitable computer seller EMachines Inc. for $234.5 million in cash and stock. Gateway shares rose 15 percent.

Wonder if this will raise the price of E's. They may be cheap, but I've had pretty good success with them.
