Really!? Sheesh!

Call me paranoid, if you like, but I have to take a skeptical look at
any telecommunications service that can make unauthorized changes to any
of my software. (even if it _is_ to the proprietary interface) If I want
an upgrade, let me install it myself.

Just another reason why I've never considered Prodigy, I guess. I saw a
demo once, and wasn't even impressed enough to sign up for a free month.
