	After further review...

I recieved an E-mail on somthing like this from another company. It
looks legit.  Of course, you have to pay $60 a month for two years to
receive this "wonderful" 486 DX-100 with 200MB HD and 4MB ram.  I would
rather buy it myself and spend $8.95 a month to use a local ISP.  Free
is subjective in this case.  It's like buying a million lottery tickets
to win the million dollar prize.  Sure, the prize is "free," but cost
you quite a lot.
