ahhaha, or better yet,get Worldgate or ICTV internet access over an advanced digital cable modem box with a 200MHZ CPU for $4.95! I am beginning to doubt ATHM validity at $39.95. I just read a report that 60% of people want cable internet access,only 7% are willing to pay $39.95 for it. If the average person can get cable internet access over TV for $4.95 and e-mail,and download movies,why pay for ATHM service? It might only be the die hard PC driven techno-nerds like us that want ATHM. msnbc.com I am beginning to see a vision of a future with firewire connections and digital cable boxes,hooking up my house. And Bluetooth will tell me which appliance in what room is in range for use. We might be moving past ATHM,faster than I can invision. Hiram

Well... I took your suggestion and contacted TCI@Home regarding adding additional eMail logins. Basically, I was referred to the freebie eMail service providers. I know the customer service folks at TCI.NET are trying to be helpful, but I think they may be missing a revenue generating opportunity. Basically I told them I'd be willing to pay for additional eMail logins. Here is the reply I got back: -------------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for writing TCI@Home.
