[Hidden-tech] Pay-as-you-go Internet access?

[B. Kimo Lee]

Hi List,

Looks like I better check my AOL hours. Thought it was only 5  
hours/month. Any way, I only use it for testing an interface template  
every so often, or to send attachments to AOL users if they get  
corrupted when I send them from an address outside of AOL.

Kimo
