[OPLINTECH] Leasing computers

[Mike Hensel]

Phil:

We work with both Gateway and Dell on leasing computers.  One word of
advice, you may want to do the buyout option for $1.00 at the end of the
lease.  You may pay a little more in your lease but when it's all said and
done you will own the computers for a buyout of one buck, that beats having
to pay for shipping costs to resend the computers back, as well as having to
hold onto all those computer boxes.

I would suggest looking at both companies to get a quote on similar specs.
Once you have the quotes I would then try to negotiate for a better price -
do the old competitor bargaining thing - sometimes it works.

You can begin looking at specs at these websites.

Happy computer hunting!

We're thinking about leasing computers instead of buying them.  Can 
anyone recommend a vendor for this?
