Gateway bundles goodies for consumers - Tech News - CNET.com

Gateway is launching a deal that lets consumers go from zero to geek for just under $100 a month.

The deal, which takes a cue from the auto industry, offers a laptop PC, a Pentium 4 desktop with flat-screen monitor, wireless network with installation, MP3 player and other goodies for $99 a month as part of a four-year deal.

Gateway has long aimed to get people to buy technology for a monthly fee, a plan first envisioned years ago with its YourWare financing program.
