Research shows that the single most important motivation for buying a computer is access to the internet. Buy a COMPAQ and it is all built in - high quality choice of 3 as well as buttons to myaltavista all at low or free cost. They are using uUnet WCOM - just confirmed it. To correct what I said, COMPAQ does not own the ISP - it is whoelsaling it: although it will maintain its own COMPAQ.Net service and support centre. The linking to AV will increase the number of hits to AV and the length of those hits, thereby increasing the value of AV. Answering a question about Web access devices versus PC - COMPAQ said it is watching it and is an area of focus in intermediate and long-term strategy.
