Since Origins Network is a UK operation, to run a 24 hour free access for the US would mean starting the free access in the UK at 0400 (4:00 am) on 4 September in UK (midnight on the 3rd EST in US) until 0400 (4:00 am) on 5 September in UK (midnight on the 4th EST in US). Mike Hi Mike and other Listers, This so-called 'FREE ACCESS' is 'one short stick with a large carrot at the end of it' The timing is really academic, the point to be aware of is if one doesn't check off the box that says to subscribe with unspecified monthly fees, then even though, as I did, one logs in but doesn't check off the subscription box, when you enter the site you do not get free information, as your registration it will show you as "unsubscribed" . So buyers beware!! Don't buy a 'pig in a poke' ! I am not saying that it is not worthwhile, just read everything very carefully as you register. Padraig Mor An Sean Gabhar
