Dell wont do that, they have to much relying on support, thats the only reason why they sell computers.

Brad Mitchell · 04-07-2003, 01:44 AM

$89 isn't an amazing price for a handheld with minimal features. Look what it costs to add anything.

Brad Mitchell · 04-07-2003, 01:51 AM

Yeah but I see all the time crazy promotions... it's worth a shot. Anyone have any luck hacking the string so it'll generate a US sale?

Brad

B Sandwich · 04-07-2003, 01:52 AM

yeah someone try that, I want it!

It's bullshit, make a stink. In the USA, at least, a sale is a sale. I see in the news all the time where companies are forced to honor deals like this when they fuck up. I am not sure about Canada, but I would expect your laws on something like this to not be too far off from ours.
