Anybody else see the commercials for Gateway buy one get one free computer?

[weirdichi]

I swear I saw this just the other night. You buy a system with monitor, you get one free. The free one had no monitor and was a bottom of the barrel system, but I think for email and net surfing, it should suffice. Anybody know if this is still going on or see it?

Gateway sucks and won't be around in a few years (pure speculation for those Gateway cheerleaders here).

I can't find the link now but I remember looking up this promo a few weeks ago. You do get a FREE LOW end (Celeron, SDRAM, etc.) sytem with the purchase of a $2,499 P4 system.

Not worth it.

So I spend $2400 and I get a low end system? D00d, we're gettin a Dell!

Make sure to get the Dell Dimension 4550, very nice fast, powerful, quiet and easily upgradeable system.

Crap, that was a loophole. You don't get the video card or cardboard boxes either. What, do you think cardboard grows on trees?

The manual may be downloaded from the internet, so you don't actually get a physical manual...

I remember the promotion when it was advertised. However, it's been over three weeks since I last saw the commercial. It looks like the promotion is over, though. I thought the free PC included a monitor - but, it was a 15" CRT monitor.
