Nonsense -- the concept is tanned, rested and ready for the computer age thanks to Gateway. It is starting a program wherein employees will come to your house and set up your PC, your printer, your Internet connection and even give you a little tutorial. Some of these house calls will be free, others won't. Since Gateway's mascot is a bovine, can we call these "cattle calls"? Gimpy Gateway is hoping the added service will put some "rev" in its revenue.
