If all you thought you wanted to use GEnie for was for Freesoft support, than the new services and the minimal fee may not be worth it for you. However you do have an opportunity to check out other areas of GEnie for a flat rate and use the Computing areas for one of the lowest hourly rates around for what I think is the second largest online service around at $6 an hour for 2400/1200/300 Its a good deal all the way around if you make use of GEnie on a regular basis, specially the Star*Service areas for the $4.95 a month for as much usage as you wish I'm not positive about this, but I just read the ad in MacUser (November 1990) and it says that the $4.95/month for unlimited usage is only for the first month. If I'm wrong, please let me know because I might be interested in subscribing. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alan D.
