>> analyze this latest form of scamboogery perpetrated on the consumer...and the analysts who call for the end of dell.. directpc "giving" away free 333mhz machines with 19.95 monthly internet service...will upgrade "free" in three years....good deal??<< Yea I saw this bullshit in the Sunday Inquirer here in Philadelphia. It was a full two page add. I called to check it out. They require a $150 deposit and you have a choice of three package plans, Te first is for 19.90 a month, The second is for $29.99 and the third is for $54.99 or something like that. You pay according to the kind of computer you want to use. This sounds to me like you are simply renting a computer and getting a basic internet service. Sounds like real horseshit to me. Well we will see what the analyst make of this very soon. You notice that this is coming out right in the cycle when the hardware firms begin to show strength. The period is for three years and you get your deposit back only when you send the computer back in the box that was shipped to you. You have to pay for shipping and handling. I never heard of the company before that handles this. I think they said it was Ingrown Toenail or MicroIngram. well something like that. Happy Easter Frank
