Jimbo: I wasn't a paid employee - I was serving out my community service sentence: all I got was left-over french fries and a few paper hats. BTW just saw an ad here. One of the free IP's in the UK is now upping the ante. It is offering free telephone connections to the internet from Friday evening to Monday morning on a toll-free number, for March. It explains that it makes its money from advertising - you have to agree to some banner ads on every page you use. I can foresee that somebody is going to walk in and offer free internet and totally free telephone connections. If they do they will clean up the UK market. Look under "advertising" and see how they are targeting users and offering a highly sophisticated service to advertisers. It seems to be very like the "free" PC idea in CA in which COMPAQ hardware was involved. You can check it out x-stream.com
