I got my pink slip in the email today:

> [@](#):

> Dear Freewwweb Subscriber,
> 
> Your Freewwweb service is no longer available.

> We’re pleased, however, to announce that we have reached an agreement with Juno to continue providing you with completely free Internet access and free e-mail-you can even continue using your Freewwweb e-mail address! All you have to do is download a copy of Juno’s free software and use it to create a free Juno account. Any e-mail sent to your  
> Freewwweb address will automatically be forwarded to your Juno account-just follow the instructions you see the first time you use the Web through Juno.

Have you other freewwweb members received your walking papers too? I hope they’re not just picking on me. I’m doing the Juno download now, we’ll see if it has the same look & feel of Freewwweb- high speed access with no banners.

Time to go ISP shopping again. There’s still free ones with no ad bar.

Here was my favorite place before I got cable.

**[USA’s Free ISP’s Comparison chart.](http://nzlist.org/user/freeisp/index.htm)**

If you don’t see a chart, push the “Comparisons” link.

I switched to [Worldshare.net](http://Worldshare.net) which is faster and more reliable than Freewwweb was. just hop over to their web site and sign up.
