“The whole concept behind the free PC has been thrown into
question with… recent problems…”
“The most recent was Friday, when Earthlink, the respected
Internet service provider, announced it had terminated its contract
with Microworkz, the low-cost computer seller.”
“The free-PC industry was damaged earlier this summer, on July
15, when another company, Enchilada, suddenly stopped taking
orders. Angry customers who had signed up were left in limbo, their
checks unreturned.”
