This topic is dedicated to getting free stuff on the Internet, in other words, what can we scrounge up?

I found this site a little while by accident, I was searching for something else. So it may be hokey. No guarantees for recommendations, you might want to try it out and report back to this topic. My biggest freebie off the net so far has been a plastic frisbee from the American Plastics something or other. Anyway, the url you didn't know you were waiting for is here at last. Free stuff! Wow! http://rsg.simplenet.com/

From Lance in Geo: Guess what I found? An Internet provider that is free. Yes free. The only thing I have to do after signing up is to let a small, slightly annoying little screen play ads all the time. I found it in my e-mail from a company I was already signed with. It's called FreeLane, and it is thru excite.com. Using it now, and so far, nothing to complain about.

there's some other place that allows you to use their internet provider for free only the ads you have to put up with are always in the way and you can't minimize or close them. can't remember the name of it though.

Free online gif tools - nothing to download. You take your buttons with ugly frames there and they will make them transparent. I knw, I did it with the buttons in Geo - all except the Help button which got the best treatment and I could not duplicate that anywhere else, myself. http://www.gifworks.com/cgi-bin/gifworks.pl?file_open

There are several free internet servers available now, but Lance had problems with the one he tried - very slow and caused problems with other programs. I think he is back with his old ISP for a fee.

IMHO most of the free stuff doesn't do Europe. At least the ones I looked at. For UK folk try LineOne.net as ISP. I now get free, no phone charges, internet access from them 24 hrs 7 days a week. I have to pay �5 a month internationl/national rate phone calls(it get debited automatically), and my line rental is still from BT as usual. Speed wise it was slow on the first day, but now seems much the same as my earlier provider.

Good point, Maggie. What works for one country's phone system might be inappropriate for the rest or not even workable.

This is as it says (and I have no idea what is being offered here...) Check out the free stuff: http://www.GotitFree.com

Careful about free stuff, though, it could lead to an abundance of free junk email.
~MarciaH Mon, Apr 17, 2000 (12:37) #14
I just look at the offers of free stuff, I have discovered why it is not nexessarily a "Good Thing" to sign up for it. Lots of little hangers-on show up in yor email, you are right!

Internet Hoax -- Free CDs, or Not CDs This e-mail chain letter states that if you forward the e-mail to enough friends you will get ten free CDs courtesy of Columbia House via Cyberpromotions. The more friends you send the e-mail to, the more free CDs you will get in the mail. Nice, huh? Too bad it's not true. As a matter of fact, Cyberpromotions has several lawsuits against them from AOL, Earthlink and CompuServe for spamming. An example of one of these suits is at http://ftp.ntua.gr/spam/news/compuserve.html

COLUMBUS, Ohio, May 6 /PRNewswire/ -- CompuServe (Nasdaq: CSRV) and Cyber Promotions, through a consent agreement, will petition the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio to enter an order accepting that consent agreement. The order would prohibit Cyber Promotions from sending any unsolicited e-mail to CompuServe subscribers. The order would also require Cyber Promotions to prohibit any of its customers from sending unsolicited e-mail to CompuServe subscribers. Violators will be disclosed to CompuServe and could have their accounts with Cyber Promotions canceled and face possible legal action by CompuServe. Cyber Promotions will also pay $65,000 to CompuServe for legal fees incurred in obtaining the order and will also be liable for pre-determined damages to CompuServe if Cyber Promotions violates the order. Furthermore, CompuServe members who choose to receive e-mail from Cyber Promotions will do so under controlled procedures designed to ensure that only those subscribers who ask to receiv Cyber Promotions' messages will receive them. Cyber Promotions will be permitted to purchase advertising on CompuServe describing its commercial message service to CompuServe subscribers. Such purchases may be used to partially offset Cyber Promotions payment of CompuServe's legal fees.
