Jill,

Because I do a fair amount of online gaming (Starsiege Tribes) which involves running apps which do best full-screen, I needed a free ISP which did not require the user to click on banner ads every hour, like most do. As a result, I am using the free access from www.bluelight.com, from Yahoo! and Kmart. It's great and I HIGHLY recommend it, especially for those traveling around the country.

FWIW: I've tried the free access hookups for AltaVista, Excite, wwweb, etc. I like Bluelight the most.

I hope your visit goes well.
