ADDITIONALLY, if you FORMERLY had AOL, you can start to use the service again for Free -- get the software and log on using one of your old screen names (password help is available). Woody>> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ CLARIFICATION: I checked out the Keyword "Change Plan", and the newsletter I quoted above is misleading. For those with broadband or other means of getting to AOL, one can change their AOL to "free". However, if one is retaining dial up to get to AOL, then there is still a cost. The good news is the monthly cost for dial up to AOL drops to $9.95. So, either way, one can go to Keyword "Change Plan" and change to free AOL provided one has broadband or other means of getting to AOL, or change to $9.95/mo dial up for AOL. Woody
