Don't forget guys - AOL is just a net pipline like
anyone else. You don't need to use ANY of their
crap! Log on, minimize their 'toy' browser window,
and launch whatever net application you want. There
are numerous free Newsgroup servers out there,
and many free news readers. I use a free service, so
I know this to be true. Better still, ditch AOL and
get DSL/Cable or at least a cheaper dialup. How
do they get away with what they charge these days???
