Mike Rochip Posted July 26, 2006 Share Posted July 26, 2006 I thought this was a good way for a government to help its citizens. PARIS - Low-income French families will be equipped with a computer and an Internet connection for 1 euro ($1.27) a day under a new government proposal.

Moderators Andavari Posted July 26, 2006 Moderators Share Posted July 26, 2006 now if they would only do that in the US! I was thinking People PC used to do something like that here in the U.S. before they became a low cost dial-up ISP, however I could be wrong because I don't remember if Internet access was a part of the "bargain." Wait a minute, doesn't AOL have something similiar to that? I could've sworn they had some $299 or $399 per year or one time deal that included a Windows-based PC with AOL Internet access - but the caught was you'd have to use their ISP service for one or two full years so as to not breach the contract. I started with AOL back in 1998 and wish there would have been something like that around back then because I spent like $3000 on my now old, ancient, crappy PC that's better used as a paper weight.
