Well, for $50/month I get up to 6 email accounts, 2 for me and one each
for my wife and kids. I also get a free web address with each of those
where we can all create our own web page. Ken Vaughn who posts here has
a free page here (http://home.comcast.net/~kvaughn65/)

Good point. Come to think it, most all internet providers include some
sort of web space. Since I own a domain, I forget that most access
accounts include that. So in reality, just about anyone has an easy and
free method to share photos.

To clarify, the domain I pay $9 to host includes my own domain name,
lots of storage, and unlimited email addresses, and has nothing to do
with my provider. There's even a nice web-based email client. Since I
own the domain name, my email or web address doesn't change if I change
providers. I really don't need internet access at all to use it. I can
post to it or read my mail from any public access tube.

If I really felt binary usenet access was that important, I'd buy access
via the many providers, including Giganews, that's been posted here. If
I switched back to cable in my area, my bill would climb at least
$50/mo., We'd lose our favorite channels, and worse, I'd have to teach
my wife to use new equipment! G
