Hi there,
	If you are using America Online, I have a suggestion for you!  If you
are looking for pure Internet access and can live without all of the
little AOL goodies, you would have better luck signing on with a local
Internet Service Provider (ISP).  A local provider will generally have
lower hourly rates, faster and better Internet access, and the option
to use your own software.  This can be very handy since there are two
top rate programs out there called Netscape 2.0 (Web Browser) and
Eudora (Mail).  Many pages on the Web now require you to have an HTML
3.0 browser which Netscape is and the AOL browser is not.  Netscape
also supports the latest technology in Java and frames that will give
you animation and sound as you browse.  Many people, including me,
start out with AOL, CompuServe, or Prodigy, but then discover that
there are services that are better.  With a local provider, you will
have access to EVERYTHING!  Not through a firewall which blocks out
certain sites and newsgroups that you may be interested in.  If you
would like a list of ISP's that are local to you, just tell me your
area code, and I'll get back to you within a day or two with their
information.  Please note that I am NOT affiliated with any company,
but am just seeking to get people better service for their money.
Have fun in CyberSpace...
