Re: shareware I looked at my phone bill -- no extra charges for Internet access We pay for a monthly access, but that is used mainly for email and reading newsgroups. I download a few games now and then. But-- I have a friend who belongs to AOL and her charges are terrific. I download the games and then snail disks to her. We are good friends now, but the trick is to get the OTHER PERSON(S) to send you disks and postage BEFORE you use time to copy and mail. Our access is flat rate--not hourly. Besides, there are several local BBS with files to download free. Who needs a club? I guess the members of on-line services or hourly commercial access, but here most seem to be students with free access or a flat rate like mine. AAD
