	That's the best idea yet.  I'd recommend GEnie if your main interest is
in mail- GEnie's $4.95/month covers email, so there's no hourly charge.

	Of course, you'd have to live without that great Plodigy (sic) graphic
interface.  Tsk.  And while the Mac area looks fairly active (in terms of posts
and uploads), I really couldn't swear to it.  I only look over there when I'm
playing with Amax.  :-)
