RE: Newspaper subscriptions
Being a technical nincompoop, I can't tell you how or why it works:
But...
My Mac automatically switches into a minimalized zone for most internet articles that allows one to read (at least the text) of many...not all newspaper articles w/o subscribing.
Some papers have a program that defeats this system; the Globe lets me read part of an article, the South China Post none at all...
But the majority scan the story, leave out commercials and some graphics, but allows one to read the full text...
The Courant being one of those.
Perhaps a tech wiz on the board can elucidate us...
