<< don't they have banners?! I hate that. So distracting. >>
Are you talking about Netzero or AT&T? Netzero has a huge banner. That's why I got rid of them. On my 21" monitor I bet it took up 3 inches all the way across my screen. Plus the pop ups are almost continuous! AT&T has very banner about 1 inch tall by 4 inches wide on my 21 inch monitor. And they do have adds that pop up next to their banner but they are only a couple inches square and they can be closed out. That is definitly worth a couple bucks a month.
