Remember . . .If you have a broadband connection, you are always connected to the Internet (unless you use a crummy provider) and you can instantly open and use your browser or email program anytime you like, night or day.If you have a dial-up account, your provider will disconnect you if you are "idle" (not actively using the connection) for a certain length of time (a time that they determine; you might want to ask what that is).If you use AOL, you will have to first log into AOL if you want to use programs like Safari, many of the widgets, or the iTunes database or music store.If you use AOL, you will not be able to get your mail through Apple's Mail programyou have to use the AOL software or their web site (www.aol.com). |
