Luckily my grandparents talked to me BEFORE they bought a computer so I could make sure they got a respectable machine for the money (because they really don't need a lot).

And ordered her a new Acer from Tiger Direct, w/3 gigs of ram for $400, with dvd and 250 gigs of hard drive space--vs 40! Haband should be ashamed.

Huge fail. My favorite part is the "Lightweight & Portable" bit. The thing looks like it's at least 50 lbs! I don't think you're being too harsh. This is a pretty good example of sleazy marketing. Shame on you, Haband. LOL! Huge fail.
