AOL PC

I swear to G. I went over there for a beer and he asked me to look at his comp (which I never like to do) and he had it so whored out. There were over 20 items in system trayalone and who knows what else!!! He asked what should I do? I said get another 512MB ram. No way I'm touching this, rams cheaper than my time..

Is this a high-performance system?
Yes. It features an Intel® 2.0 GHz Celeron® processor, 256MB of RAM, a 56K modem, 40GB hard drive, 10/100MB Ethernet and comes with Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Edition pre-loaded.

AOL needs to make a client for Linux. (or has it been done already?)

Despite moving my parents to broadband, they still insist on having AOL which comes bundled with RealPlayer.

What is annoying as such, is not the PC as such for $299, but definitely the ad.

"a loaded powerhouse desktop PC" ---- "loaded"? "powerhouse"? This is way beyond ridiculous.

"bumper-to-bumper world-class components" ---- excuse me?

"The spectacular Systemax AOL PC runs on a blazing fast Intel Celeron 2.0GHz CPU" ---- The slowest possible available CPU is "blazing fast"? Care to classify my Athlon64s?

"so many extras that we could fill volumes of literature describing them. Here are just a few ? 52X CD-ROM drive, SIS Integrated Graphics,.." ---- wow, we get SIS integrated graphics. - And why are graphics, sound and CDROM "extras"?

"runs on the award-winning Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition operating system for incomparable performance and stability" ---- Really now? "incomparable"?, incomparable to what? Solaris, MacOS X, Linux? - Maybe MSDOS, that supposedly most other PCs are running on? - And "award-winning"?

OMG! :roll: Makes you want to knee some marketing people in the groin.

WTF is a ball bearing mouse?

I suppose they mean non optical as in it cost them sixty five cents amongst other things.

That graphic of the monitor is misleading too. A 17" CRT will NOT measure 17" viewable area yet that is exactly what the graphic depicts.

Cheers!

LOL! I'm glad computers can't talk, cause otherwise that thing would just cry out "Kill me, please.... Kill me!"

With boards featuring something similar to voice reporter you could make it say that

BTW, on the one Larry linked I'd be curious what IGP board is coupled with the Duron. It'd be sad if you were paying $220 for 40gb extra HDD space, 256mb of ram, a dvd/cdrw combo, fdd, and winDVD because the NW celery 2.6ghz gets stomped by the Duron 1.6ghz and extreme IGP might also be slower than the base AMD systems.
