A conversation with a friend brought up an interesting issue:

I buy a computer and it's obsolete by the time I get it home.             

Does anyone have experience renting or leasing computers?  Is there any
advantage?                    

It seems logical that I should be able to rent/lease a 486/33 machine now.
In six months see if the 486 "price drop-like-a-rock" has occurred due to 
competitive 486 chipsets or the P5, etc.  At that point see if it's worth
the upgrade, etc.

Any thoughts?
