NEW YORK, May 22, 1997 - GATEWAY 2000, Inc. announced that its shares began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) at today's opening of the market under the symbol GTW. Gateway Chairman and CEO Ted Waitt and NYSE Chairman and CEO Richard Grasso were on hand to ring the opening bell to begin the trading day.
