A user interactive display computer process and program, provided by a
distributer of computer components to a seller of computer systems, for
configuring computer systems and networks including the computer
components. The process involves prompting system purchasers to make a
sequence of interactive data entries, each of said entries relative to the
data processing needs of the purchaser using one of said computer systems
and networks and then allocating the computer components to the networks
and systems based upon said user entries. The quantities of the computer
components thereby allocated to computer systems sold by said seller to
said purchasers during a selected time period are tracked and stored.
Then, a determination is made as to whether the quantities of components
thereby allocated during the time period exceed a selected level and if
the level is exceeded, fees due from said seller to said distributer for
said process are foregone.
