Talktalk free pc

A lady from Talktalk called me offering a new deal of line rental, landline calls and broadband for £26.45 per month. Also included was a free computer. I asked for more details and was told it was a desktop with windows 7 on it. The monitor is 15" and it has a 40Gb hard drive. She disagreed when I told her that a 40 Gb hard drive would be filled by Windows 7. There would be no room for anything else. She told me that I was getting storage and software mixed up. I told her that I had put Windows 7 on a 60Gb hard drive and had to move Users and Program Files onto another hard drive. She insisted that she knew about computers; I insisted that I did too. She then changed tack and asked if I owned a computer? "Several" was my reply. She then said that I didn't need another one.

In short, this offer is rubbish.
