If you are AOL-free I guess you must not have kids!

AOL owns Compuserve, and they are the company offering the 36-month deal with a new PC at Circuit City...

TraderTerry, << The writing is on the wall for ISP's that think they can get away with high charges and even AOL has recognized that. Any store you go to buy a new PC these days, you can avail of a $400 discount over 36 months which works out to a $11 discount - or a 50% discount of AOL's rate - Of course the ISP gets a long term customer but that is not enough to justify the 50 % loss in revenue per customer. >> More subscribers equals more eyeball count, it gets more e-partnership dollars, at the end the $ per user is way above the 50% discount. Market share is so important at this juncture, AOL has Compuserve/Netcenter/ICQ/DigitCity/AIM/... to offer, more eyeballs and longer eyeball-stuck time/day attract e-dollars, FYI.
