What the heck are you talking about? You can get shell accounts for
the "industry standard" $20/month. (Ok, I admit, the one I'm currently
using was originally $25/month but I paid for a bunch of months ahead of
time.. plus I know it wasn't the cheapest.. Since I know the people running
it I get quicker upgrades to new programs.. like lynx)
That is a really bad attitude. Would I want to use a 2400 baud modem?
No, but apparently others can stand it.
