I have been a member for almost a year now and I like it..
It has a highly graphics-based format which makes the software
inherently slow, but they employ some very effective data compression
schemes to make it bearable.  There are many different services offered
and they are adding more constantly.  Also, there are one of the few
services that *really* listen to user's complaints and suggestions.
They have to, they're in tough company.
   One thing many have noticed as a 'drawback' of sorts is the fact
that they don't offer (or plan to offer) downloading of PD software.
But at the fixed price per month (no connect charges) you can't beat
the value.
  I only wish they had a local number up here, now that I'm at school...
