    Those online services must be giving them a great deal to compete
with Internet access.  If I spent as much time on GEnie as I do on the
Internet, I'd be paying close to $1000 a month (and that's only at 9600
bps too).  My Internet bill is around $16 (Cdn) a month.  Netcom
charges $17.95US/month for unlimited access.
