I to have been using Quark Express, the electronic News service available throug cable all over the US at least (But not advertised) and hard to find. The service I think is free, The box and software is what you pay for, I think Magraw hill is sending out the compiled data. *Anyregistered* author can add to the News. There was rumored to be software uploads aswell, I installed this system for a friend, and found it interesting but not worth the price. I use my banks online account info, to see what checks have cleared up to yesterday, a whole lot better than waiting a month for your statement or tyring to hassle it out of them on the phone. I have few friends in Eugene, but I talk to my friends using IRC, we conference in germany finland and the usa, 10 people confernceing in real time over the internet. I play "hunt2" in the same conferencing type manner many players many sites. and I must say 'Email has saved my life' or my friendships at the very least. I am in touch and in tune with the digital pulsebeat of my life. I work live and play in the electronic world of phones, radio and computer co comunications. (I boycot TV as it has proved generaly a bad plan). TV has low data content and heavy subliminal impact, watching voluntarily is like poping your brain out and saying "here play with this, I don't use it"(:-). PS: I also read books.
