Did you do any research before deciding to buy this computer? This stuck out like a sore thumb : "Laptop features a 500Mhz Intel Pentium III Processor" Seriously, a 500 Mhz PIII processor? Even if you're not a computer whiz (I'm not) it wouldn't take much research to discover that this processor is over 10 YEARS OLD! 10 years in the computer world is a lifetime in human years. You shouldn't expect to be able to do much with a 1999 era processor in 2009. It won't run any operating system above Win2000 or WinME. I don't see the deception here. The delivered what they advertised (although why you'd want to buy it is questionable). Internet ready does not mean wireless. You can either use the dial up modem, or plug into a high speed (wired) connection using the Ethernet card. There's a reason they don't take refunds. It's unlikely they'd find anyone else to take that dinosaur off their hands. Whenever you buy something with a no-refund policy, that should be a red flag for you to take extra care in finding out exactly what you are buying. If you'd done even a little bit of homework here, you would have saved yourself a lot of grief.
