Yeah, I saw that.  It is like the "free" computers that used to be sold 
by eMachines.  The computer was $799.00 and there were something like 
$400.00 in rebates and then you only had to subscribe to AOL for three 
years at $21.95 a month, or some such deal like that which basically 
wound up doubling the original price of the computer before the rebates. 
  I don't think I will ever buy anything I have to subscribe to, unless 
I get a magazine out of it, so I can at least swat flies.  Peace, Dennis
