TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
A company called U S FREEWAY ONLINE INC of Charlotte NC,
since acquired by BOSnet Communications, offered ''free''
Internet access for a US$25.00 setup fee.
The company never delivered, but it IS making charges of $40
plus additional $5 charges against user accounts.
If you signed up for this service and either failed to get
the service or are having unauthorized charges levied
against your account, please let me know so that we might
consider a class action against the companies involved.
BOSnet is a Time Warner ''partner'' and that might prove
helpful.
(How did I think the ISP would be paid? It claimed through
advertising revenue, much as several URL providers [e.g.
Geocities, Tripod] are funded.)
By the way, my ex-bank claims that even after I cancel my
plastic the unautghorized charges can STILL be made against
the account and the bank will continue to dun me! FWIW, the
ex-bank is Suntrust Bankcard NA of Orlando FL.
