1.1 I don't have access to the Web

``You're pointing to Websites everywhere, but I don't have access to the WWW.'' Sorry, but I think that you are out of luck. To put it bluntly, I feel that if you can afford to put time and money into photography, you should be able to put time and money into the greatest information resource on photography - the Web. Furthermore, people expect you to have access to the Web, so they will respond irritated if you ask questions on the newsgroup that are one click away from this FAQ.

So do yourself a favour, and get a decent Internet account.
