The first two weeks of MindSpring service is "free" (according to their
web pages.)  Therefore, one can think of it this way:

$15 goes for the "free" two weeks (1/2 of $30)
$20 goes for setting up account/system, disks, manual, etc.

So in reality the setup fee is just $20.

The main reason I DON'T have MindSpring?  Shell accounts.  

(But if my USIT bill goes over $30 for two months in a row, bye-bye USIT
anyway.  I rarely use the shell; USIT forces me to from time to time to
check time left, etc.  [USIT does not service Atlanta; I am just closer
to Chattanooga (Ringgold) than Atlanta!])
