      I would have been quite happy with that PC, about four years ago.

              that's not sooooo bad.. in AUS dollars, it's about $750... Ya get

              17" screen - $350
              P II 350 + MB = $80-100
              6.4Gb HDD = $50
              128MB SD = $60-70
              32x CD = $30
              56k internal modem = $60
              NIC = $20
              Floppy = $15
              Mouse, keyboard, speakers, case = $100

              so it's a bit over $700 dollars worth... plus a registered OS... It's not THAT bad.. it's still a bit expensive though :)

                  I guess that works out to about a penny per month for postal delivery - where else are you going to get service like that for a penny a month:laugh:

                    Well not too many people would buy that. But people who don't have $500-$600+ for a thing like a computer might be able to get this. I mean it can do some things. But STILL $400 for that, wouldnt pay that ever (except 4-5 years ago).

                        There's plenty of those out there that just load an os on them and sell them to unsuspecting ppl without any documentation or system disks then those ppl see ppl like me to fix up all the loose ends. They're not the bargains planned by then. :(

                              Only a couple? It's a plain straight scam add. Ya call but they've sold out but they try talkin' out of some more cash on something with more power and/or features. The person won't be any better off though. :mad:
