ACME Public Access Internet announces:
*** Y.O.U.T.H Internet ***
ACME has carved out a safe haven among the turmoil of the world's
largest computer network: the Internet. Fear no longer the harmful
exposure to sexually explicit materials, unseemly language, socially
disruptive concepts, and other subversive elements that normal
Internet access would subject your family to.
Our expert kid-oriented administrators customize the data reaching
your child's screen, ensuring that only the wholesome core of the
Internet is experienced. He or she will be guided through electronic
mail with far-away pen pals, Internet bboard reading, file transfers,
multi-user interactive simulations, and many of the other exciting and
educational Internet resources.
All information that passes through the ACME system is thorougly
screened for content, insuring that the maximum family value is
delivered to your loved ones. Harmful data, including computer
viruses, trojan horses, and pornographic material, is expertly removed
long before any exposure would put your children at risk.
Our service includes an initial interview with the parents to
determine the guidance appropriate to the child's age, gender, and
cultural background, as well as the growth direction intended for the
child.
Fees:
$1500 initial non-recurring charge
$100 per hour of connect time
(minimum billing 10 hours per month)
