well...

if they had a mac version for their internet service then they wouldn't be all that bad. not that we would want such a thing but it would be better than the crap client aol has.

I just use a dial up to MSN through the macmsn.net thingy. Trust me when I say that not having a version of MSN for the mac is a blessing. It's just one notch under the evil scale (AOL is still #1).

Actually MSN is the number one evil as it gives money to Microsoft. That leaves AOL as the number two evil.

Depending on which part of the country you're in, maybe you could find a large redional ISP to use?

This is amazing. MS site actually has picture of PowerBook on it. But they did not mention PowerBook by name, instead just "laptop" by Apple. I bet having to mention Apple was hard enough as is.

Nah, my agreement comes up in a few months, then it's DSL bliss again. MSN hasn't been that horrible except for their horrible browser (ie is my choice) and they sold out my e-mail address to a grip of companies (all of who offered to enlarge something of every variety, some parts which I neither have nor want enlarged) Besides, I bought me a bunch of cool Best Buy impulse items! My light up lighter rocks!
