Not everybody agrees. Fred Langa of the Langalist just wrote:
"But what most glowing accounts of this "free" AOL PC deal
missed is that you have to sign up for nearly $800 worth of
connect time from CompuServe, over three years. The Wall
Street Journal did the math and figured that the real cost
to AOL for the connect time and hardware was about $500, so
AOL is going to make about a $300 profit on every "free" PC
it manages to foist on the unwary.
PT Barnum was wrong--- there's not a sucker born every
minute: there are boatloads of them born every minute."
