Hey, AOL 6.0 is the fastest and easiest AOL ever. It's even faster and easier than 5.0 which was fastest and easiest. You see where I'm going with this?

YUCK! 1 year of AOL!! Are you MAD? That would definitely be enough to drive me MAD!!

The AOL is free it was from Gateway $2279 + s/h + tax = $2499.40.
I bought it instead of built it because:
a)I was going to buy a rig this summer for college but I have to hide my savings so I can get finacial aid.
B)The free tech support and new parts if something breaks
C)Pre-built systems usually don't have compatability issuses(especially bigger companies)
