Papaya,

Since you can get net access for free (netzero.com), you're paying $960 over 4 years for a $500 computer. That's a leasing deal with an approximate annual interest rate of 37%. Just buy a $500 computer and use netzero.com. Or, better yet, I'd be happy to sell you a $500 computer for 48 payments of $17.50 a month (and then you can use netzero.com for access). My interest rate is just under 30%. Where should I send the contract?

Dave

PK, Why pay AOL $24.99 for lousy service when you can get some kind of service (the big if in this deal) and a free box for $19.99? Looks like a slam dunk unless their service sucks like AOL <g>
