Since I have a stake in this (see my .sig) I should point out what Aaron
didn't clarify...  that "under $40" is actually $34.95 per YEAR (That's the
"bring-your-own access" plan - the majority of the people who are capable
of reading this message on csa2 can telnet to Delphi).  That's CHEAP
compared to the other online services out there nowadays.  Believe it or
not, the next-cheapest service out there, to my knowledge, is AOL with
$9.95 per month for their equivalent price plan, and we all know how well
AOL supports Apple IIs.
