If you want it THAT detailed, Charles, the connection to the 
internet may very well cost SOMETHING but from that point on, 
the connection to as many BBSs as you wish, for as long as you 
wish, in every possible corner of the world are FREE from ADDED 
CHARGES.  Try comparing that to plain copper dial-up BBSing to
the same BBSs (which is what we were doing).

Geesh.... 

And if you were to get the new AT&T plan, you'd only have to 
pay $7 per month for unlimited internet access.
