NetZero & The Browser Question
Hi there. I'm back again, confused about an entirely new issue.
NetZero offers Mac users "NetZero Platinum" for $9.95/mo.
{I've been paying You-Know-Who an unseemly $23.90/month for years because, in the beginning, no other ISP offered an access phone number around these here parts, and, more recently, because an e-mail address change sounds so complicated (is it? does one have to notify all the people one would rather avoid contacting just so those same people aren't insulted by having not been notified?).}
But back on topic:
Something I don't understand on the NetZero website's ( http://www.netzero.net/support/start/online-plat.html) simulation of the online registration process is that, at the bottom of the page, under Download Instructions, it addresses two types of customers: Internet Explorer users, and Netscape users.
I don't use either (do I even have either?) so what does that mean? What download instruction would I follow? And if I did have, say, IE, would I have to use it as my browser in order to use NetZero's service? If NetZero's so Mac-friendly that they name a product for it ("Platinum") why wouldn't they acknowledge Safari users in their instructions and steer us in the right direction? Not all of us are knowledgeable about things like browsers . . . but I just KNOW some of YOU are 🙂
I need you! If you don't respond, I will be forced to remain with current conglomerate ISP and will never be able to afford a Nano.
P.S. Whether you understand that browser stuff above or not, I'd be grateful to hear any ISP user reviews/recommendations. All I want in an ISP is less expensive dial-up access.
P.P.S. How do I make that http address above turn into a link? I looked into the discussion editor's Style section but must've missed it.
