1p Per Minute - 24 Hours a Day for £9.99 Per
Month
AOL have started
the shake up of UK telephone net deals by
announcing an unlimited access plan. For a
monthly payment of £9.99 you can stay
on-line for 24 hours a day at 1p per minute.
If you sign up now (?) you will also get 10
free hours. The telephone number is 0800 376
5432, the software will take about 7 days to
arrive.
(Ed: Under this
plan my own quarterly bill would have
reduced by £55, if AOL can do this, what can
BT do - if they wanted to?)

100 UK Net e-millionaires
A Sunday Times
article, 03/10/99, listed the top 100 UK
e-millionaires. At the top: Paul Sykes of
Planet OnLine (an internet service provider)
with a personal value of £500m. At the
bottom: Benjamin Cohen of Jewishnet.com who
started out with £150, now worth £5m. We are
not quite in the same league as the
American's: outside of the top 14, the
others have a worth of under £50m each.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)
Last week an
employee won £25,000 damages for Repetitive
Strain Injury (RSI) they suffered through
working 6 hours a day, using a mouse, and
being un-trained to do so. Many individuals
work more than 6 hours a day using a mouse,
sitting poorly, without regulated breaks.
