"3 years for internet service they may not be happy with one year from now."

You are right about that. I have a fancy Dell PC but I signed up with Prodigy for year because all was well after the free 30 day trial.
7 months later, the honeymoon was over. 1 local number and I couldn't get on line for a fix for over 4 hours a night of trying.

Canned them with a refund for the unused portion. I can't believe it but i actually am using AOL for a free 30 days and it's going so well I will probably do what I said I never would(sign on to AOL)

jmac - Re: "On a different subject, just look at all those nuts who buy those deep discounted machines in order to get $400 off the computer price so they can pay $1000 over 3 years for internet service they may not be happy with one year from now."

There's a sucker born every minute.

As I have taught my 11 year old - "ALWAYS READ THE FINE PRINT ".
