MB>  There was an article in our local newspaper a couple of days ago that said
MB>netzero and especially Juno will be phasing out their free web service
MB> pretty soon.

If Juno keeps Email free then I'll be OK, since I can use Juno 4 for W95 a few 
times a month, on my other computer, to grab any messages my UnLearned friends 
send me with Attachments.

I'm still wanting to use this 7 year old DOS/W3.1 486 until the smoke rolls out 
of it.
And then I'll try to look for a AT (not ATX) motherboard, if I can find one, to 
ressurect it. (I'm still wonder what that will be like -- W3.1 at 450+Mc/s,  
WOW!???)

MB>  Last but not least, i received a CD from AOL today.. Free 700 hours
MB> trial and no credit card required!!! And it said it runs on win 3.1, too!

They may not want a Credit Card but I expect the fine print still says that 
they want to use a AUTOMATIC WITHDRAWAL from a persons checking account, just 
like it was in 1984 when I wanted to use the FREE Hours from CompuServe but 
refused to allow them access to my account.

Somewhere around here I still have that offer that came with my 300 baud 
Commodore Vic-Modem.

MB>  Me?  I basically IPAD through a BBS for Internet service.. costs me $7
MB> a month...

I looked in my BBS Abbreviations List and couldn't find IPAD in it.

If I have to pay for internet services, I'll pay a Local ISP to connect.
$14.95/mo. is the same amount I paid the last ISP I used.

Except for getting Complaints from some Web Pages about my browser not being 
able to read their Page, NS 4.08 worked fine with W3.1 for me.

I figure the problem is with the Page Writer not wanting to write their page so 
everyone, whatever they use, can view it.

I missed seeing Mail not being in the Base 4.08 Navigator but I noticed when I 
D/Led the Base version of Communicator 4.75 for W95, the Mail feature was put 
back in.

Would you know if there is a later 16 bit Navigator than version 4.08 for 
Win3.1 users, and if Mail is added back to it?

I could go to home.netscape.com/download/archive...... and find out myself but 
just thought I'd just be lazy and ask here in the echo.
