Computers: $299 PC Hurls Shockwaves

Caroline Jones

At this pace, it's almost plausible that PC makers will one day pay us to use their computers.

Microworkz Computer blew up a storm in the PC industry last Monday when it unveiled its $299 Webzter Jr. desktop PC,
complete with a year's free Internet access from EarthLink Network (NASDAQ:ELNK - news) .

The Seattle-based upstart is undercutting the bigger players to crack open a whole new market of first-time PC buyers who want
to connect to the Internet. And Microworkz is not alone. In the fourth quarter of 1998, eMachines weighed in with its South
Korean-made $399 PC. The company already sold 180,000 units to customers and pre-sold 700,000 units into the channel during
the quarter, quickly catapulting itself into the 6th place spot behind Apple Computer (NASDAQ:AAPL - news) .
