Walter, You are absolutely correct. Thanks for the information. I've never hit their allotted number of hours so it has never been a problem for me thus far. If I am ever in a situation where that changes, then I will switch. Again, thank you. Ruth Cherecwich In a message dated 10/22/2009 10:51:43 A.M.

So, it seems to be the better option to sign up for "dial-up", not for "broadband", even if you only plan to access AOL via "broadband". Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY Subj: Re: [AOL-RW] $9.99 plan Date: 10/22/09 10:43:37 AM Mountain Daylight Time From: Utahn1@aol.com Sender: aolers-rootsweb-bounces@rootsweb.com Reply-to: aolers-rootsweb@rootsweb.com To: aolers-rootsweb@rootsweb.com The $9.99 plan allows me a certain number of hours of dial-up included in the price when I hit a hotel which does not offer free or reasonably priced wireless. Or, if cable/router goes out here at home then I can still use dial-up. Plus, I still don't know about the online AOL mail storage with the free version. If I ever get all my mails organized, deleted, printed etc. and off AOL, I might then switch to the free program. More and more hotels are offering wireless which is reasonably priced.
