Jim, any thoughts on the Gateway Yourware lease program?

At first glance $50 a month for a PC with Internet access would look attractive. If I understand it, there is a requirement for 2 years.

Unlimited Internet access goes for $15/month. So $35/month goes toward the PC. 24 months of $35 yields $840. The question becomes then would you be willing to pay an additional $850 to own it outright?

The advertising is targeted at home personal use. Most folks won't outgrow there PC in 2 years doing homework and surfing the net.

I think the program will flop like the bigscreen PC.

Pat
