Tony Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 Then go to this site and fill out the form.The only snag is, that you have to view 3 mins of adverts every hour of PC use.For an independant review goto to this site.Cheers & good luckTony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grim Reaper Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 what is to stop people from acquiring a pc, and then reformatting it.Would this not negate the need for the advertising?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ranger Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 reading the t&c, I think there will be some checks/software built into it that disables the pc if there is no internet connection or adverts loaded onto the pc on a monthly basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grim Reaper Posted December 30, 2003 Report Share Posted December 30, 2003 surely it would have to be a hardware thing....after all, i could simply put in a different hard drive, format and load xp and hey presto, a cheap pc (I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS COURSE OF ACTION NOT CONDONE ANYONE THAT TAKES THIS ACTION) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lived Backwards Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 The British firm Metronomy is planning to ship its 'free' PCs to customers who signed up for the offer in December. In an email to customers, Metronomy details how users need to cancel one month before the shipping date if they no longer wish to take part in the offer. Otherwise, customers sign up for three years, but can simply return their PC within 14 days of delivery if they're not happy. The main catch is that users must watch adverts that fill the screen for 60 seconds every 20 minutes. Metronomy will mail customers a CD containing the adverts every month which will need to be loaded onto the PC. Users must be connected to the internet at least once a month, and must maintain an ISP account throughout the term of the agreement (3 years).According to the email I personally recieved participants should expect to recieve their computers between the 15th - 25th April. It wasn't specified if this will be the case for all customers. The offer is still open to applicants.source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
