I am in agreement PC, there is just SO much out there, and so much that i am interested in, I made it a policy not to pay for anything. I’d be broke with my long list of hobbies and interests.
I considered subcribing to the magazine Consumer Reports so i could have the free access to their site, but in the end did neither. Decided I could get any issue off the shelf at the library or at the drugstore when/if I really was interested (which turned out to be never).
