Compuserve is $6/hour at <= 300 bps, $12 at >= $300 bps.  I have heard
that Delphi is $6/hour at all speeds, so it will probably be cheaper,
but it will still be VERY easy to spend $50 to $100/month.

Is anybody out there actually using Delphi?  How much mac stuff is there
per day?  On Compuserve, there are ~150 messages/day in the mac users
forum, and ~50/day in the mac developers forum, with a much lower percentage
of 'junk' than USENET has.  I have found that I can follow all the mac stuff
I am interested in for about 30 minutes a day at 300 baud ( noisy phone line
prevents reliable 1200 baud... grrrrr ). 

ps: it's really neat to be able to ask a question about something, log in the
next day, and have an answer direct from Andy Hertzfeld!
