Day 1409

Went out and withdrew £60 from the building society to tide me over till the end of the month - I'll make it up again in March when there's no season ticket to buy. Also got a PCW with a free AOL trial - used it in the afternoon after going round to M's for an hour or so to borrow her Linux book. Her and E had been to a wedding exhibition, would you believe it.

AOL was very good and I got a reply to my what-have-you-got email within two hours, on a Saturday afternoon too. Not bad eh? There are 110,000 files in their library and searches for 'Prolog' and 'LISP' revealed coverage as good as Compuserve's. And their Web page thing is up and running already. I'm going to test the reliability of their connection over the remaining 29 days of the trial and if it's OK I'm going to change from CompuServe, because their connections are frankly rubbish at the moment. Also AOL is £5.95 pcm rather than £6.50.
