Oh, cool! I impulse bought a six-pack of not Guinness but something maybe Guinness-esque yesterday, and by the time I got it home and in the fridge I kind of despaired at how long it will take me to finish it, but if I can make dessert with it it will go faster!

When I look at the percentage of NYT articles I read, vs. the percentage I ignore, vs. the percentage that outrage me, I'm not sure it would be worth the price for me.

Somehow $15 a month seems a lot more than like, $9.99. If it were $10 a month, I might consider it. Still might not do it, but would consider. However, at $15 that's suddenly seeming like a lot of money for one news source (that I apparently can't access on my "tablet" if I get one?!)

Oh yeah? How does one do that? I might be into that--while I read the Times most of the week when I get bored, it's the Sunday paper I really enjoy.
You can choose to be a Professor or Student, but as far as I can tell they don't know whether either is correct--they are just happy to get another subscriber.

The email I got said that online access included the iPad app. Or maybe that was only for current paper subscribers?

Current subscribers I think get it all free. But then they had tiered pricing of $15 for online and smartphone (?), I think $20 for online and tablet, and then some other price for all. Of course, for me this raises further the question of why the hell I wouldn't just be reading "online" on my tablet, and why I need a specific "app" for the website. WTF?

ita, yikes! I'm glad you went to the ER last night, and I hope you are feeling better soon.

Are there article at the NYT online that are only accessible to subscribers?
