A new company called MileNet offers you miles as long as you leave a small window visible on your desktop and you are connected to the internet. It has a counter that shows how many miles you've earned, and it keeps clicking away the miles as long as its visible and you're on the net.

Right now they're offering American Airlines, Delta, and United, but they say they plan to offer more airlines in the future. As with most programs, you get bonuses for signing up friends, the more friends you sign up, the faster your counter increments ... so, if you're interested, drop me an e-mail ([email protected]) and I'll send you an e-mail so that I'll get credit for your sign up (or at least have someone else sign you up so someone benefits!).
