Ok, charging for e-mail, are you off your head or something? The reason that e-mail is the highest communication is because its free.

Hey, lets do it, its only ANOTHER thing to pay for when we buy a PC. Hey, we've already got windows XP, Real Media, The Internet, why not add 1 more thing to the shopping list.

I use e-mail all the time at work, its easy.

But, saying that, I think that some e-mail providers should start charging, because spam is a BIG problem. I get 100 alone in 2 days! Thats without subscribing to anything, and only 1 e-mail account!

Hey, if you want to charge something, put those companies out of business who send those forsakin messenger pop-ups when you're on the internet. I know firewalls disable them, but they're a right pain in the neck!
