yes, the $27 is for the first year and then the cost is supposed to go 
up to $50, but my friend insists that he simply calls them up and 
convinces them that he should get the low rate again if he reups for a 
year. He says he has been doing it for three years now and only pays 
$27 a month.  maybe you should make a phone call?  But in any case a 
year of $27 and then to $50 is better than a year of $50 and then $50 
(ok you get a cheap 3 months at $19 with earthlink).

I was hoping I would  not have to use their browser and other crap.  
Does Safari work ok?  I would probably use the email, though a give my 
.mac addy out cause it is so easy to remember and I have my .edu 
account also.  i don't think I'd have upload/download problems either.

thanks both of you for the info
