Before you decide, check out America Online.  It provides a very Macintosh-like
user interface and has lots of Macintosh related information and files.

I don't spend very much money each month and I'm on it a couple
of times a week.  Their rates are fairly reasonable.  There is no
email surcharge of any sort!  

Most of these services make it easy to sign up and usually will give
you some free time.  Use this time to see how much you like it and
if you don't think it's a good value, cancel it.

(Most modems include offers for free time on various services.  If
you haven't recently bought a modem - ask around for someoe who has...)
