Their offer of a free trial turns out to be "before you use the
service, give us your credit card number, read these pages of
fine print, and be careful not to go over two hours or call at the
wrong time else you'll be billed."  No thanks.

Prodigy may be a slug, but they at least have the right approach
to providing what should someday be a universal service.
