<< If you spend more than 30hrs per month on the net, your a GEEK and not the bread
and basket customer that AOL is making millions from >>

1. AOL is unlimted at $19.95 / mo
2. For the cost of 1 lunch over GTW's 12.95 no one has to keep track of their internet usage.
3. It is easier to use (for low usage) if you are always connected than to start the computer, connect and check a couple of e-mails.
4. Have you heard of Cable Modems - Always connected ?
5. Have you heard of ADSL - always connected
6. Have you heard of the growth of internet users for everything including on-line trading and SI posting ?
7. Have you heard of Bill Gates investments in Cable Cos. to provide hi-speed permenant connection ?

All the kids I know have and use computers and internet regularly. Are we bringing up a generation of geeks ? Or are you ignorant old fart who is set in his ways.

Lets continue this conversation after about 2 GTW quarters and we will see how successful they are in the internet. Boooooooooooo!!
