We'll see what he does. He just bought a router for home, so let's see how
he does setting it all up.

I'm working on him to realize he can KEEP his AOL email and screen names
now, without paying them, and have his ISP be someone local, and even if he
moves to another city in the future, he'll still have all his AOL stuff.  I
don't think he grasps the concept, or he's just too cheap to spend the
bucks for another ISP.  Since his AOL account is comped and paid for by
AOL, including the DSL provisioning, he doesn't pay a dime out of pocket.

I guess you get what you pay for.
