Congrats! You've just asked the TRILLION$ question.
>>but I don't follow this, stak. Why would PCs be free?<<
The answer to this question will profoundly impact the entire PC industry( in an ultra painful way), it will also revolutionize the academic model and the communications and financial institutions of the world.

>>TVs aren't free; radios aren't free; for Pete's sake, credit cards aren't always free. <<

No these products aren't free but you can probably come up with an example that gives away a very expensive product.

Think of drugs and addiction. The dealer gives away the dope(PC) to get people hooked...
