I would like to get the Nets opinion of America Online before subscribing. Is the service worth the $5.95 a month? How responsive is the system during the evenings and weekends? Is the system so slow that you use up your monthly hour waiting for the system to respond? My primary interest is in downloading free or shareware programs. Does America Online have a large archive? How easy is the navigation software to use? Any other comments? Thanks for your advice, Rodney *********************************************************** ** Rodney Jacks ** ** Motorola Inc, Austin, Texas ** ** E-mail: rjacks@austlcm.sps.mot.com ** ***********************************************************
