Points: 4423 Status: Lurker



so.... for the last 2 months, i've been on the internet via
my x-room- mates laptop, and now he needs it back.
my computer had the internet, but then my aol got canceled,
so now i'm looking for web sites that will send me a free
cd, so i can install internet to my computer.
does anyone know of any websites that will send me one for
free?
(one that is not aol)
also, it's 2 am and i'm tired as hell, so i may have
explained this a bit retarded.
errrrgh.

3 free months from aol, and it's been 3 months in a few

why don't you just like, get a real internet-account? or is
your money-situation so dark it has started wearing lots of
make-up and quoting Nine Inch Nails?

I remember you used to be able to get free internet through
the local library around here, maybe you could see what they
could do for you?

Most local small ISP's don't require a CD. You just pay
them and you dial up to them to connect.

will mail me a free cd... get it?

is not need for that! you can just download the internet and
save in 1 or 2 cds

after that there is not need of connection any more

you don't need a cd.

you go to "add new dialup connection" and enter the phone
number, username, and password that your isp gives you.

I see your problem. I don't live in the USA so I can't help
either. Are there no electrical stores there which have CDs?
Does AOL really have such a stranglehold over there that you
can't find other people? Wow, does THAT suck!
