Technology has helped Enron create new=20 businesses like Enron Broadband Services and Enron Net Works, and it is=20 responsible for applications such as EnronOnline and EnronCredit.com. You= =01,ve=20 seen what technology can do at work. Now we want you and your family to=20 realize its benefits at home. With that in mind, we are excited to let you know that we are introducing t= he=20 ClickAtHome program, which will give each employee a computer for use at home. Where=20 technology permits, we will also subsidize an Internet connection. With the= =20 click of a mouse, a home computer plus Internet access will put a world of= =20 Internet knowledge at your family=01,s fingertips. =20 We have just signed an agreement with Dell Computer Corporation to provide= =20 the computer hardware. We wanted to let you know about the program now in= =20 case you and your family were considering the purchase or upgrade of a home= =20 computer or Internet connection in the next few months. The scope of=20 ClickAtHome includes the following: ? Basic package: Dell desktop computer with a high-speed processor, floppy= =20 disk drive, mouse, speakers, monitor, modem, CD-ROM drive and Windows 2000= =20 software. Employees will have the option to receive a subsidized Internet= =20 connection, including broadband, where commercially available. ? Participation: This program will be available to active regular full-time= =20 and regular part-time employees of Enron and its wholly owned subsidiaries;= =20 however, employees of some Enron companies (Portland General Electric, EOTT= ,=20 Enron Facility Services) may not be able to participate due to legal,=20 accounting, tax, labor or business reasons. Eligibility includes being=20 employed at the time of implementation. =20 ? Timing: U.S. employee sign-up will begin in early 2001, with delivery of= =20 the equipment and Internet connection to follow shortly thereafter. Delive= ry=20 of equipment to participating non-U.S. employees is targeted for late 2001. Details about this program are still being finalized. To address some of= =20 your initial questions, we=01,ve posted a question-and-answer document on= =20 http://clickathome.enron.com. We will schedule an eSpeak session in the ne= ar=20 future where you will have an opportunity to ask questions. Or, you can=20 submit your questions and comments to ClickAtHome@enron.com.=20 We are excited to extend our investment in technology to you and your=20 family.
