Wow, that's a crazy lead too.

	The report shows that computers from IBM/Lenovo are the most reliable, scoring an index rating of 243 points. Apple is close behind, with a score of 201 points. Next runners up include: HP/Compaq, 12 points; Dell, 4 points; Gateway with minus 12 points and "others" with minus 16 points. Large numbers are better.

There's something very wrong there with those numbers. I'm not a statician (sp?) but I would consider IBM and Apple to be outliers; not only from the point of view that they're both so far away from the other three but also because of the distance between them.

I think those small points numbers at just the delta between them and the next position.
