I signed up with America Online last month after hearing it mentioned
in this group.  When I called to order the software the person assumed
I was a IBM user.  I straightened him out, but I got both the IBM and the
Apple version of the software.  I ignored the IBM version, but in looking at
it now, I find that there are differences in billing between the two.  The 
IBM users pay $9.95 for three off-time hours, and if they signed up before
June 15 they pay Charter Member prices for any extra hours.  Charter member
prices are 20% off, or $4 for evenings/weekends and $8 for daytime.  As
an Apple user I pay $5.95 for one off-time hour and have no offer to become
a charter member.  I will ask someone at America Online about this after 6pm,
I just wanted to see what you had to say, and let you know about this.  Later.
