Palmtop is His Newspaper

I save $225 per year by canceling my subscription to the local newspaper, partly as a protest over poor coverage of national and international news, but mostly because of the last two paper carriers on my rural route! I replaced the paper with my Palmtop electronic newspaper, courtesy of acCIS scripts and Gilles Vertical Reader. It doesn't cost money in my area, so I get my newspaper for free, and it fits in my briefcase better.

Also, a note on CompuServe's connect charges nearly all the U.S. telephone long distance companies now bill in six second increments, with a six second minimum. (Sometimes you have to specify this.) However, CompuServe is still rounding up to the next whole minute, with a one minute minimum. This didn't matter before off-line readers had been invented, but it sure does now. Everyone should protest to CompuServe via E-mail! John Combs CompuServe ID: [72376,3553]

[I am told by a supervisor of a local telephone company that whole minute billing adds about 20% over six second billing prices Paul.]
