Last time I inquired about one of these (similar) offers, I was told there was no support for Linux, there were no Linux DSL modems (available from them), each of my computers had to have a separate modem (versus networking them), there was a $50 charge for self-installation per modem, there was a penalty for dropping the service, at the end of the promotional period it would cost me $49.95 per month to keep DSL--and I could not go back to my "legacy" dialup connection. Does anyone know what the details are for Linux users under the current offer?
Cost is an issue because we are a low-income household (one of us is disabled).
Doesn't all this controversial discussion of morals/politics/history/ intent, etc. underscore the importance of this book? How many other kids books have done that?

Why think up new names at all? The names the indigenous population used have been around for millenia. All we need to do is find them.
