Yeah, but CompuServe has the same scheme - credit card first, THEN your trial period/free time. But perhaps America Online should have used Prodigy's style of signup offer. I saw a Prodigy demo at a user group meeting this week. From that, I can see why they HAVE to make such a generous offer! They were having problems giving Prodigy to Mac users, much less charging for it! :) But for $10 per month, I guess you can't complain, if you don't need the file libraries, live chats, real Mac interface, and other services AOL offers. -R
