Yeah but if you figure it out you are getting screwed! You are stuck with Prodigy for three years! And with cable modems and ADSL services starting to come down in price, do you really want a 56k for three years? Not to mention for $499 will the computer still be around for three years? Buy or have a system built that you can upgrade or replace parts in easier, proprietary systems are nice, but call compaq and get a price for some of the motherboards that go in those things. I had to replace one for one of my customers and it cost him about $700 for the motherboard! Really look hard at that option before you do it. Three years is a long time.
