Jennifer,
Don't know that this will be anything other than perhaps negative help,
but I recently downloaded a free CD from AT&T Worldnet.com offering 120
hours of internet access for $4.95 which is $13. cheaper than I pay for one
which works well for me.
Had a heck of a time with the download: hard for me to read (AMD
person) and it was quickly evident that since I had to spend several minutes
just getting logged in, plus the need to stay online to read and answer
emails, I had concern I'd be over the hour limit and would then have
additional charges. Since my present service allows instantaneous download
of any accrued messages so I can work offline to read and answer, this is a
feature I would need. Haven't dared explore further: getting Worldnet.net
uninstalled screwed up my system and finally required a call for technical
services to get talked through the problem of being unable to disconnect
from that service.
