Girl, You’re Getting a Gateway!

Remember the old Dell ads in the early 2000s with the guy saying: “Dude, you’re getting a Dell!”? That really worked well for Dell and the sales went through the roof. And I always wondered, why didn’t Gateway make a similar campaign but with a gal saying to her female friends: “Girl, you’re getting a Gateway!” That way they could have won the female market of Windows PC users and left Dell with mostly only dudes.

Oh well, maybe that’s why you don’t hear much about Gateway anymore. Actually, I don’t hear much about Dell nowadays either. I think both companies are watching people buying Macs and iPads and iPhones and they’re screaming in frustration: “Aaaaa! You’re getting an Apple!” (<Instead of a Dell or a Gateway)
