Louis Block notes that EarthLink Kids is yet another application only available on the Windows platform:

"I'm getting increasingly irritated by products promoted for all users turning out to be Windows only solutions. This is the second time this week I've run into this with Earthlink. The first was when trying to download a database of dialup numbers for the Palm! After jumping through all the hoops to get to the file, I get a .exe! There is no reason for a Palm file to be Windows specific."

    RE:ELNK Phone # database

    Contact a tech support rep and ask them to use their **internal** phone number search tool and they will be able to do a search that comes up in nice format to "cut and paste" into a text file to send you.

    I know this to be true as I'm a former ELNK tech support rep.

    Or you can easily go to http://www.earthlink.net/accessnumbers/

    select "all locations" in the option 2 field, select "all types" in the modem field and submit
    this gives you a table which you could copy and paste into a text file and edit as needed.

    There is if Microsoft requested/or paid for it.

    Earthlink is just one company that M$ has its hooks in.

    Apple has far stronger hooks in Earthlink than Microsoft does. Apple owns a big piece of Earthlink. All Microsoft has is a default browser.

    Likely...

    That .exe is a self-extracting archive and you can open it right up if you drop it on to Stuffit Expander.
