[AccessD] OT: Dell sale

Susan,

Are you going to their web site for educators?  They have a web site that gives special discounts to employees of higher education institutions such as you.  Sorry, I do not know the URL since I use their State and Local Government web site.

John,

I'm actively in search of a Dell so this offer is appealing, but I can't recreate it on the Dell site.  I get much closer to $1000 than $500.  To get the price you have below, looks like I need to get a Celeron, but your description below is for the Pentium 4.  Can you give me a good link to follow to get this price point?

--Susan

They show the price as $539 but in the checkout line they subtract $48 for a coupon - 43C49AB1D6C5 and a $50 "rebate", for a final price of 466.51.  Box only, no monitor, no floppy, 128mb ram.

Not a bad price!
