I would say that I am an avid reader. Maybe I'm supperhuman. <grin>

The only thing I subscribe to is the Wall Street journal interactive edition,
which I just started last week. I have my favorite sites for news and other
articles in my bookmark file. I just go from my bookmark file to my favorite
sites every so often. I started doing it for the members of the Chicago blind
Computer User Network and now do it her for members of other vicugs. At the
time, most members had e-mail access but either were unfamiliar with the web or
did not have access to it, thus limiting their availability to resources,
news and trends.

unfortunately, I cannot speak specifically about individual.com on the list,
as I am a stockholder in the company. However, if you find news and features
about your areas of interest quite useful to your work, I would suggest
subscribing to such a service. Many offer a free trial membership or a
money-back . Others are low cost and you can sign up for a month or
two to find out if it meets your needs. My feeling is that there is so little
risk in trying one of these services that I believe it is worth just giving
one a try.
