  • Cute for Clifford fans, but somewhat limited

    Jan 09 '01
    Pros: Good activities, changes a little each time
    Cons: Not many activities

    Jan 06 '01
    Pros: Easy to set up and use
    Cons: Username / password sometimes denied

    Summary: I haven't been using Freelane for too long, but I'll admit that I've been happy with the service so far. Freelane was easy to install and set up quickly. I like that it's so easy to connect - even my husband can log on with a minimum of ... read more

  • Get ready to start paying for internet access again

    Jan 03 '01
    Pros: N/A -- see review
    Cons: N/A -- see review

    Summary: Practically everybody has heard of Netzero, FreeInternet.com, BlueLight, Juno, and the like, but which of these free internet service providers, if any, is right for you? As I mentioned in a previous review regarding the recent death of Spinway (please ... read more

  • Free but Annoying

    Jan 02 '01
    Pros: It's Free - what more could you want
    Cons: Good for short durations, but not extended online time

    Summary: It is not all that it is made out to be. Beware - it is free with a catch - that catch gets to be very annoying if you spend any time online. I used Freelane for several months while traveling and during a move so that I could have continued ... read more

  • Emagic's flagship product, how does it compare?

    Jan 01 '01
    Pros: Does everything the others can and more
    Cons: Not the easiest package to begin with, but with time is unbeatable IMO.

    Summary: I've deliberately opted NOT to read other member's opinions of other sequencers since they may taint my review, but out of the big '5' so to speak, I thought I'd write my version of what I rate to be the best audio creation package since there isn't a ... read more
