So now it is just a few free hours per month offered at netzero.com, I guess? Anything else out there worth a look? Are the days of free truly over?</font>
Doc, I would guess the days of the commercial free net access are nearly over. However, I don't think it's the death of "free" internet. Did you see the article in the WSJ a few weeks ago about the people setting up wireless networks on rooftops? Folks seem to be taking things into their own hands. I would guess this will be the way access to the Internet evolves in the future.

Heck, even my neighbor offered me free access by running a line from his house to mine because he has broadband and could easily split a line off his router.
