First, I'm not a fan of CI$.

I was really excited by Portal's flat $10 rate when it came out.  I signed
right up.  After a year, I found that in my case, I paid much more to Portal
in that year than I *ever* paid to CI$ in a year.  Yes, I had the option
of hanging online to Portal for hours and hours; I just never did it.
I still hate having the CI$ meter running while I use it.
