when you can buy a crap PC for $399 from Dull, and have to pay $200
for
XP Pro in the stores. Shows who's making the money.


$299.00 including Win XP Home, mouse, monitor, keyboard. 2.3 GHz, 533
FSB.
Pretty impressive for the money.

in your jaded eyes, I suppose. There's the other two rings of your
circus.

That's uncalled for - where else can you get a useable machine with a big
CPU, for that kind of money?

If you can tolerate XP (hey, some people can't) it's a good deal.

Back to basics?? 95% of the computing world "tolerates" Windows. What does
Apple have for $299.00? The empty box?
