I agree, if you're a light user. However, if you are on 20-30 hrs per
month, the usage charges add up. Currently, I'm on another public UNIX
machine with no per hour usage charge and only a nominal flat annual
membership fee. Unfortunately, it doesn't have ftp capability which I
understand is provided on the World. Thus my interest in the World and
its rates...
