At UWM we can "sell" you an account on one of our machines for $25/month plus CPU charges. The CPU charges typically work out to about $5/connect- hour, but the actual rate is $300/cpu-hour. So, I think a person who does email and follows a dozen or so newsgroups could get away with a monthly bill of some $40-$45 (your actual results may vary :-) the least expensive option is to take a 1 credit class at UWM. For that you get "unlimited" computing on everything from micros, to mainframes to the Internet. If you'd like info on "buying" an account give me a holler....
