Mike,

Well stated. Personally, my son provides for me a direct hookup to the internet (he is an ISP). The money I save because of that can be used to buy chips. Truly, I would like to read Jim's articles, but that is not a God-given right. I'd like to have many things I don't have, but as you said, "So be it."

As free people we have the right to pursue that which we desire. Sometimes we attain them, sometimes we don't; usually based upon how much desire we have & how much effort we expend. I choose not to suscribe to Prodigy, ergo, I choose not to receive the benefit of Jim's articles at this time. I hope sometime, somehow I do have that privilege. Sorry for the long post.

Kerry
