When It Says: |It Really Means:
Available Now! |We overstocked / We can't sell any.
|(Alternative: We have a really hot
|item at an outrageous price)
State-of-the-Art Design |We can't get the chips yet but we hope to
|before manufacturing starts.
Proven reliability |Antiquated technology and obsolete parts.
Compatible with most |Favor us with a big enough order and we'll
systems |start designing an interface
Tremendous |The unbundled "bare-bones" system with
expandability |the low advertised price is virtually
|useless.
User-friendly |Slow, eats memory for lunch, and probably
|won't meet your specific needs (but
for a fat
|consulting fee, we'll be happy to
customize
|it for you).
Advanced features |We couldn't get rid of the quirks/bugs in the
|system, so we're pretending we
planned them
|all along.
Competitively priced |Costs less than IBM's.
