Is Gateway "jumping the shark" here?

[Bogy]

As the article says, Gateway has been trying to do this for years. Wasn't it the "Gateway 2000" that was their first attempt? Large screen TV as the monitor, meant to be located in the living room. It didn't last long. I think they need to return to their roots.

No, the company used to be named Gateway 2000. The Destination computer was their first attempt. It's worth noting that this has a somewhat higher quality picture than a typical non-HD TV set.
