What does Compaq have to gain by offering $400 rebate with its PC bundles? Does Compaq actually make money for offer this or does it help to "make the sell"? I think most of these $400 rebate deals required the purchaser to sign up for 3 year with an overpriced ISP to get the rebate. Whereas in the Netzero scenario, the customer will get free access to the Internet without a 3 year deal. It will still help Compaq "make the sell". Make sense? I currently use a local ISP provider. Unlimited access for $14.95/month. The problem is when I'm on the road it is a long distance call to connect. Netzero comes in handy. Besides, I think Compaq has a % stake in Netzero ... if I'm not mistaken. Mikey
