In case any NetZero member isn't aware of it, a few months ago Juno
instituted a policy requiring all members to make their computers
available to the service so that they could use members' hardware to run
various computations (at least that's what we were told they were doing
with our computers)...
In other words, as part of your agreement to be a Juno member, you
had to agree to keep your computer turned on and attached to a modem so
that Juno could access your computer at will to use it to run programs
that it said it was running for companies that had paid for the service;
Juno claimed that it was doing this as a way to keep its service
'free'. If a member did not allow this access, we were told that
their Juno membership would be discontinued.
My guess is that NetZero members will soon find themselves
presented with this demand to make their computers available to the
service, too...
