Update: Deal may bolster low-end offerings, as company copes with slowing PC sale
"Gateway Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Ted Waitt will give up the CEO title to EMachines CEO Wayne Inouye, but will remain as chairman and will have an active role in Gateway's future, the company says. Inouye will also be named to Gateway's board of directors, it says."
