Especially if you live in the boondocks (rural area for those not
accustomed to the slang) where MSN doesn't have a dial-up number. Then it
*automatically* dials 150 miles away - and doesn't tell you it's making a
long-distance call.

$300 (or more) phone bill later...

Oh, and Opera is *not* free. IIRC, they want $35 to register it. IMHO, it's
worth the money -- it's *very* fast, and doesn't seem to crash often. But -
it's not free.

Happy New Year,
