It may not be really feasible for Uncle Bill to change. The main problem is that the Himalayan Imports Website is setup on AOL.
I know if I had been with an outfit as long as Bro has with a website I would sure think more than three times before up and changing.
Although I do agree there's no doubt better places. My service is more than Netzero @ $15.00 a month, but I get unlimited time and sometimes my 'pooter may be on as much as 18 hours straight whether I'm at the screen or not.
When I get a fast hookup I'm not nearly as quick to hang up.
And with the luck Uncle Bill has been having with the sales outlets I would also be hesitant to change to an unknown, to me, server anyway.
But just in case anyone wants to check out netzero you can do it here.

The main problem with most people, garnered from what I've read about AOL is that everyone and their dog is familiar with it.
And for so many people the internet is a big scary place with all sorts of bugs and other infectious things running around waiting for a moments distraction.
And services like AOL prey on peoples fear's so to sign up and keep AOL is just easier.
If I hadn't of had some internet savvy kids I would have probably opted for AOL as well.
So to humor an old phart who isn't internet savvy is there a possible way for Uncle Bill to download his website onto a disc and then reinstall it on another server with no or a minimum downtime?
From what little I know our kids who run business with their machines backup their programs and such onto a disc in case of failure.
That would be prudent to do with a website as well wouldn't it?
And back to the topic. I'm looking forward to some more funnies as well. Next thing you know Bill Paxton will have a syndicated copyrighted comic strip running in all the major newspapers.
(Some people change newspapers, when they have more than one to choose from, because of the political forums. I change newspapers because of which one has the funniest comics. Like Will Rogers I only know what I read in the papers

)
