chuzzlewit..."mr. green eggs and spam"....free pc's, free pc's"


analyze this latest form of scamboogery perpetrated on the consumer...and the analysts who call for the end of dell..

directpc "giving" away free 333mhz machines with 19.95 monthly internet service...will upgrade "free" in three years....good deal??

if you read the not so fine print in their two page ad in most major sunday papers....they require a "deposit"...if you do not pay with a "direct pc credit card"....the amount of the deposit not indicated...

so, perhaps the deposit of several hundred dollars will pay up front for the almost obsolete 333mhz white box...they are in essence giving the service away for free...for they have an infrastucture that no one is using....a way to show growing revenues sans profit on a balance sheet....wall street loves them for being another "net" darling...rewards them for not losing as much as they should...and the owners laugh all the way to the bank with the benefits of their stock "souffle"...and when the oven door finally slams...and the air is let out of the "souffle"...they have naught to worry, for the egg will be on the face of the "investor"...

another hi tech ponzi scheme...ed a.

p.s...just like gtw "trade in"...but only if you finance thru them at 14.5% per annum.......just an overcharged interest rebate..
