Greetings list,
    I was surprised to learn that CCIL was NOT a part of some larger =
social services agency.  My first contact with CCIL was through Chester =
County Disability Services, which provided me this computer, and, a =
connection through CCIL..  I always ASSUMED that CCIL was provided to =
the needy.  Imagine my chagrin when I discovered that CCIL was available =
to everyone who lives and/or works in Chester County.  Perhaps, therin =
lies the problem.  Most people would not contribute to provide "free" =
internet service to those people who could obviously afford a "paid" =
ISP.  I personally have provided information to, and helped connect, 4 =
people to CCIL.  All of them were either Seniors and or handicapped =
persons.  I don't even mention CCIL to my friends who don't NEED a free =
Isp.
Thanks for listening,
Millard Hawk
