TANSTAAFL - There Aint No Such Thing As A Free Lunch
Be aware that AOL's CD-ROM will modify your MSIE settings so that you can no
longer connect to your existing ISP. You will need to launch MSIE by
clicking on an htm file, (not from the desktop or Start menu) then manually
reset the connection settings.
You need to give AOL your credit card details to sign up for your free time,
so make sure you get properly disconnected at the end your time - I think it
is 100hrs or 1 month, whichever is first!
Call them on 1300 654 633 & ask how to get your existing connection working
again; they are not prepared for that question.
