Email Just A Fad?

You think so? Just check out these facts:
97% of Internet users correspond via Email.
It's estimated that by 2000, 108 million folks will be using Email.
About 60% of adults with Internet access send or receive Email daily.
More and more Email will be generated by computers (a.k.a "spam").
And a war will break out between the email receivers who will be using more and more sophisticated filers to reduce junk email and those emailers trying to figure out how to get past your filters! Of course, there will be collateral damage, in that email you WANT to receive runs the risk of getting trashed by your filter. And, often the sender is NOT notified that you didn't receive their message--it just "disappears" into cyberspace.

Yet Another "FREE" Internet Access Offer

Freewweb, the first company in the US to offer "free" Internet access, is expanding nationwide. You get free, unlimited Internet access, but you have to pay a one-time software and registration fee of $119.00. You also get Email, high-speed access, news and chat groups, and more. The "more," of course, includes more advertising.

See what they're up to at http://www.freewwweb.com (1-800-970-3733. If you try them out, let us know your thoughts.
