He is paying $40/Month Alan,

He can use the internet in the Cell Phone Companies (Cricket) recption
area.

If he wants to take it when he spends 3 or 4 hours at the dyalisys(sp?)
center he goes to 3 days a week, he can keep his self occupied with it.

At the center he has a TV with touch screen that has an Internet option
but some of the sites he likes to go to are blocked on the centers
system.

He enjoys going to Gun websites like Mossburg(sp?) but the center blocks
those kind of sites from their system.

He has never seen the internet viewed on a DSL system, and he would
probably be very impressed at how fast DSL is compared to what he is
using.

But he can take his notebook anywhere in the area and get on the
internet if he wants to.

He also uses the Vista Home Basic box to play Games.

I've had the computer since Sunday the 19th because he wanted me to make
it more User Friendly for him when he goes to Yahoo for email.

It's ready to go back to him today, I've made some adjustments to his
settings so I think he will be a little bit more satisfied with his
email experience.
