I have a brochure at home which tells you how you can get 10 hours free. If anyone is interested email me ([log in to unmask]) and i'll send you the info. as well, a good magazine for on-line stuff (including the ones you pay for: eworld, Prodigy, compuserve, etc. + "free" Internet stuff) is _Netguide_ available at bookstores stocking computer mags. They have a section each month called "cyberguide" which looks at resources, including educational stuff... there's also new (large) books, _Education on the Interent_ and _The World Wide Web Unleased_....but f course, the best stuff on the Internet is **on** the Internet. regards, mary-louise (stuff excerpted from Pat's message)....
