Free Computer With Online Access

Published: 16 April 1999 y., Friday
Internet service provider InterSquid.com Monday said it will start offering users something in addition to Internet service -- a free computer with no strings attached. InterSquid.com, which is requiring customers to sign up for 2-1/2 years to qualify, said that unlike other free-PC offers, the computers it offers won_t be jammed with advertising and other promotional banners. The start-up service provider said that with the 30-month $29.99 per month agreement, it will provide customers unlimited Internet service, e-mail and Web hosting and a 300 MHz personal computer. The computer will be loaded with Windows 98, CD-ROM, sound card, and 56K fax/data/voice modem for free to attract home users, students, educational institutions and other organizations that have the need to get online, Intersquid said. The company did not specify what brand of computers it planned to offer. The company said its offer will mirror that of cellular phone services that throw in the phone as part of the service. Customers can purchase more features for additional money.
