I know this sounds too good to be true but apparently it`s something to do with Toe knee blair wanting to get everyone on line by 2 thousand and something, my mate who told me had to wait 6 months for his and his mate waited for a year but they got them, no harm in registering, your not going to get one if you don`t, nothing to loose and all that..

Sorry. Due to current demands the free pc offer is temporarily closed. Please keep a close look out for its return.

Welcome to Metronomy, the revolutionary new concept which provides a FREE IBM HOME PC in exchange for your commitment to watch up to 3 minutes of advertising per hour of use.

That would proper wind me up

Yeah I read about that in the Computeractive Mag. They are concerned with fraud. Think people have been using false names etc to get the PC's so for the moment they have pulled the plug.

You had to agree to watch 3min of adverts for every hour you use the PC........they can tell if you do, and if you dont they will take back the PC

this came around a while back. if i had b/b i'd have one, and leave it on all the time just running UD, so the ads can play merrily to themselves

This has been done before. Last time I heard about it, the company went bust leaving all the people with their free PC's and no adverts :D :wack:
