                                                      COMMENTARY

*******************
We decided to put together a new issue of the Digest a week early.
We thought it would be a nice surprise. We have been considering
putting out the Digest on a weekly basis anyway if time permits.

In response to some suggestions from our readers we made a couple
of small modifications to the style and content of the Digest.
The first changes took place in issue #2 when we added the Freebie
and Medical section. The other change was the format of the Digest
which should be plainly visible in the placement of section headers
in this issue.

Also,beginning with the next issue we are gonna give a try to adding
Albany/Schenectady/Saratoga items to the digest.
There will be a little bit for everyone in the Capital Region.
By doing this we will be increasing our readership tremendously.
We have reached over 1100 people with the publication of
this issue and the subscriber base is steadily growing.
We are striving to make this the best publication in our area.
Suggestions and comments from our readers are always appreciated.

Once again we'd like to remind you that we are offering free ads to
individuals who would like to place one. Business ads are welcome
for a small fee which you can get more information on by emailing me
if you have a business to advertise. Get your ads in NOW for the
next issue so we can reserve a spot for you.
Enjoy this issue of the Digest!

FREE EMAIL FOR EVERYONE
------------------------------------------------
This isn't exactly a local news item but we wanted to tell everyone
about it because it is the best thing we have seen in a long time.
It was brought to our attention by one of our readers and we thank
him for the discovery.
This great new thing is called Juno which offers a free email account
to anyone who is interested in having an account. There are many
reasons for wanting to use an email account such as this. Imagination
is required :) I have included some brief excerpts from the actual
info sheet
that is available at their web site....

Juno is a completely free Internet e-mail service. You can use Juno to
exchange e-mail with anyone in the world who has an Internet e-mail
address, and because the service is advertiser-supported, you never
have
to pay Juno anything. 
To use Juno, all you need is a PC equipped with Microsoft Windows and
a
modem. We'll give you the software you need and provide a local or
toll-free telephone number for your computer to dial into. Within
minutes
of installing Juno on your computer, you'll be ready to start using
e-mail. 
It's a little like network television. You don't have to pay CBS to
watch the nightly news, or NBC to watch "Seinfeld". We believe this is
the
way it should be with e-mail as well. 
Juno charges no monthly fees, no hourly fees, no membership fees, no
per-message fees, and no fees of any other sort. Our sponsors pay, so
you
don't have to. For more detailed information go to the web site at 
http://www.juno.com


How about a job that pays $430,661.00
--------------------------------------------------------------
Seems that the Albank Financial Corp President gets 430,661.00 a year
in pay and got a $112,000.00 bonus for 1995. Incredible!  Must be nice
to sit 
in an office,sign a few papers,have your secretary make coffee and
play
golf all day and get a huge salary like that.  Something definitely
wrong
here. But of course we all know where banks get all that money to
throw around so carelessly.  From us the consumers by charging us all
kinds of outrageous fees.  Examples...$3.00 to $5.00 for a money order
when we can get them at the Post Office for $0.75 and less at some
other businesses.  How about $15.00 for a bounced check because
the check writer was short $0.04 in their account (true story).  What
about sky high interest rates for loans when a simple reasonable
fee would be sufficient?  Things are like they are because federal
legislators are afraid of these banks and afraid to put their foot
down and say "thats enough stealing from the public".  Things will
never change until people take a stand against the greed of
corporate America.
These banks should use all that excess money instead to help out
all the poor people we have by creating jobs for them or even
donating that money to needy organizations.


Gambling in New York State
---------------------------------------------
The possibility of legalized gambling has become an issue for
the State of New York recently.  As with everything there are
people for gambling and those against it.
Legalized gambling would be a fantastic idea if it was made 
legal throughout the State.
It would bring an almost endless amount of jobs to all areas
and the money to be made by all would certainly improve the quality
of life for everyone.  Surely gambling would also bring organized
crime
which is easily fought with the increased funds law enforcement
agencies would be recieving.  Gambling might also harm the countless
thousands of people with addictions to these games of chance and
make it easier for them to throw away their money.  But with that too
there is help available to the people that cannot control themselves.
No doubt the proliferation of help agencies would also increase.
People need to take the responsibility for their own actions and
learn to control themselves with gambling,smoking,weight control,
and countless other human weaknesses.For those in need however,
New York State recently opened a toll free hotline for Gamblers. 
Estimates suggest there are a quarter million people in the state
with gambling problems. The free service can be reached at
1-800-437-1611 and is open 24 hours. They have many resources
available for callers so if you have any questions of any kind
give them a call.
