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... -Matt -ddoak@albany.net -http://www.albany.net/~ddoak
