>>Best Buy ads occasionally offer no payments for a year on applicances or TVs, so PCs are probably no different for them.<< But it seems that PC's ARE different. Appliances don't become obsolete in a year. My last washer/dryer was 25 years old and I sold them with my house, still working great. Can you imagine expecting people to pay say $2,500 in 2001 for a 650mhz computer when at that point they can get an 800 or 900 or even a 1g for less? Seems like they are looking at repoing a lot of computers. Regards, Frank
