Hi After 7 years with Prodigy I am looking for another webserver. I don't want to use AOL but am interested in who local Puget Sound people are using to access the web...

Hei Daralee I have had earthlink.net for quite a while, my Mom and brother have it also. It is great and none of us have had any problems with it. I have unlimited on line and it is $19.95 (I think) :-) Pat the Norsk.

Hi Darilee, I have been with a company that started in Seattle (SenseNet) and now is connected with "The River". I have DSL from Qwest and got a package with the two. The River is from Phoenix but has Washington as well as Arizona. They have their own spam filter company Postini that checked all email for virus and spam. I have been very happy with them.

----- Original Message ----- From: "bookstorelady" <bookstorelady@prodigy.net> > After 7 years with Prodigy I am looking for another > I don't want to use AOL Darilee, I am honored to give my $0.02 cents to you. I subscribed to Prodigy...very briefly. I have used AOL, mostly for my work; but FINALLY unsubscribed. AOL is good for it's own services, for it's own "chat rooms". But, if you use the Internet primarily, do not subscribe to AOL, MSN, etc. These services have their own services in mind. I have been with, what is now Earthlink, for a good number of years. I went through many of the change of ownerships. I access Earthlink, through a discount through an insurance company (USAA). I am happy with the service. I don't use Earthlink software, I don't have them as a homepage. I pick my own homepage. I use Microsoft Outlook for email; although I can also subscribe to the free services of Yahoo, Hotmail, Lycos, etc. I have any usenet service I want to subscribe, or any genealogy list...i.e. PSRoots. I use Norton Utilities excessively/exclusively for Internet Security, Firewall protection and Virus protection. Earthlink has it's SPAM protection, but that would mean I have to use their "homepage" system. Bottom line: whatever system you find, I would recommend a system that offers the Internet without the internal "rooms" or "workings" of the system. Use Norton for protection. If you must use a secondary system, use Yahoo or Lycos as a subscriber, that way if you find you're getting too much SPAM, just dump that user name and find another. Your humble servant, Ron Bestrom
