I agree, but SCN/freenets allow people, some with out computers, to see
what the internet is about, to have an email address, to access information.
SCN/Freenets can not offer everything the net has to offer, but who has the
time to experience everything the net has to offer?

This is kinda what I was pointing towards, the niche that is filled
but does not receive attention.

I think access to the Internet can provide a lot more use than a XT or am
AT, even if it is limited to text-surfing and a email.
