Re: The biggest ripoff in computer sales history? Yes
were all you guys just born yesterday?
here in the US, rent-to-own companies have been doing the same thing for years..
they're simply marketing their products to people who don't have any credit or bad credit.
that's what you get when you don't handle your finances properly.
and those people are paying for it.
nothing new here.

Exactly right. The same applies to someone with bad credit applying for a loan. The worse your credit score is the higher your interest payments. If you can't be responsible enough to handle the important things in life then you end up paying the piper.

You know, HP or some manufacturing was selling a PC as trashy as that for like 15,000. Or was it 150,000?
Re: The biggest ripoff in computer sales history? Yes
I'm sure it was $150,000 and included at 150,000 rpm hard drive. Those are quite expensive now arn't they.
That's only $1 per 1 rpm!! Maybe they'll buy on a 1/2 off sale.

Seems to me these guys were targeting the very people who don't know better and are easy targets; the poor, uneducated and ignorant.
That doesn't give them an excuse to do it!! Just because it's not illegal.
The people they're targeting need a hand up in life and a chance to get a better undersatnding of where they are at, it doesn't help to have bastards like this, with low ethical and moral standards to make life even worse for those that probably already find life difficult.:angry:
It may even be that some of them take up the deal with the intent and hope of improving themselves!!!:)
