I was configuring a new Inspiron 1420. One option is '3GB Datasafe
online storage -- free for a year'

None [subtract $9]
Free 3GB DataSafe Online Backup for 1Year [Included in Price]
10GB DataSafe Online Backup for 1 Year [add $10]
Dell Recommended
DataSafe Online Backup 20GB [add $20]


But if you don't select it, the price drops by $9.

Seems like free really isn't free.

Sure it's free. They're just giving you $9 off if you opt not to make them
reserve the storage space for you.

You might be a big looser who, say, has eleventy billion terrabytes of
personal storage on your home network.

Not that there's anything wrong with that or that you personally know anyone
even approximating that description.
