Tench....<Pentium 450 is the sweet spot> ...I think you are right on. My firm just bough 108 of them. Fifty more in a month. Small potatoes, I know, but we are not a big firm.

Tenchusatsu, maybe PIII 450 MHz being the sweet spot comes from this, "borrowed" (but never to return to) the Michael Burke thread: According to David L. Booth, Chairman and CEO of PC Free, their computers 'will be top-of-the-line, equipped with an Intel Pentium III 450mhz chip, 64MB memory, DVD-ROM, 17' monitor, 8.4GB HD, 3-piece amplified speakers with sub woofer, TV tuner card, metering enabled, Graphics card w/8MB RAM, v.90 56k modem, Smart Card adapter w/smart card, color printer and unlimited internet access all for only $39.99 a month, with no contract to sign. 'The difference between us and others who claim to offer low-cost or no-cost computers and internet access is that we will give our customers state-of-the-art equipment,' Booth explained. 'Our development team has brought together the technology necessary to bring the home computer, e-commerce, telephony and the internet to the next level. PC Free computers offer users the chance to sample software, buy on the Net, play games and only pay for what they actually use. What's more, each system will be delivered by a technician who will set it up and show the user how to operate his or her equipment' PC Free was formed to serve both retail and business computer and peripheral needs by providing customers a computer, monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and color printer, coupled with unlimited Internet access for $39.99 per month. The convergence of our Utility Based Services to our customers, combined with an overwhelming response to our products and service have not allowed us to individually respond to any of you yet. In the very near future, however, we will begin our national roll out and we invite you to sign up now to reserve your place on our customer list. Our customer requirements are very simple. No credit needed. No long-term contract to sign. No detailed personal or financial information required. Simply put, what you need the most to become one of our customers is a need to have a computing system and unlimited Internet access at a price that makes sense and without having anyone invade your privacy.
