[X-Newbies] Dialup services

[Jane]

Juno is webmail...it installs an extra Safari into the system and that 
is the only way you can connect. What a mess it makes of your 
attachments as well. I've seen it on OS X.

NetZero installs something, you don't want, but if not, you could 
consider that.

Likewiese you should ask PeoplePC if you have to install anything. They 
are pretty cheap.

Anyone who forces you to install anything, I would nix....there is no 
need of it. The install means either it's solely webmail, or they are 
going to subject you to ads and popups over and above the normal crap 
you have to endure on the web.

If you can afford it, let them have cable..
