Sorry, but i'm working here in the exhibit hall, and I've only seen two (Pogo Linux booth) who qualify as booth babes.

AOL's $299 PC

Big Planet (a smaller internet service provider) did this very thing four years ago with the iPhone. The iPhone was selling at $399 at the time, and customers could get it for free if they committed to a three-year contract internet contract regardless if the iPhone stopped working.
Most customers signed up for the unlimited access plan at $24.95/month. After three years, they ended paying $900.
Bottom line: contracts such as these are great for making money, but they ultimately create a mass of upset customers.

I work for an ISP (holding the name for obvious reasons). We recently had a customer abuse our AUP by sending 3,000+ unsolicited emails with attachments to AOL customers in just one week (total emails reached ~18,000). AOL in turn blocked any and every email with attachments from our domain indefinitely. Our legal team is now trying to resolve this issue with them. Even though emails without attachments go through fine, it has become a huge inconvience for many our customers. I don't understand why they did not block the specific account only instead of our domain. The following is the rejection notice we receive when sending emails with attachments to *@aol.com:

Indeed. I remember when AOL tried blocking Trillian. It was only a matter of time before Trillian got it's AIM protocol up and running. What puzzles me though is in the past when MSN upgraded their service, they notified Trillian that they were doing so. I guess the times have changed.
Agreed. VB is an fast and easy way of building a simple application (simple is key). Granted it should be a crime to use if you plan on building a *real* application. Just my thoughts:)

Real-time scanning is being worked on by the Clamwin guys. Not sure when it will be released though.
