New Alternative to the World Wide Web Announced
Online PR News – 06-December-2009 – – The new Alternative Electronic Information Network launched today, offering an ad-free, environmentally friendly way to use the Internet. The AEIN's highly efficient system makes it easily accessible on nearly any Internet connection or PC-compatible computer. It provides news, weather, forums, reviews, and a variety of other content.
AEIN pages utilize a range of eye-friendly color schemes and feature embedded shape-based graphics. Lines and text resize to fit the user's monitor and video resolution; members never have to scroll left and right to read text or view images. The AEIN also features line animations and low-resolution photographs.
Rather than using a web browser, members navigate the AEIN through its exclusive access software. This ensures compatibility with all pages. The software is available in versions created for Windows 95, more recent Windows systems, and even DeskMate 3.x. It is designed for ease of use with or without a mouse installed.
The efficient new system helps to decrease power consumption at both the server and personal computer levels. Other steps will also be taken to benefit the environment. Starting in 2010, the AEIN plans to fund (via a charitable organization) the planting of a number of trees equivalent to its current membership at the end of each year.
The AEIN will be operated using the income from membership fees. It will not depend upon stockholders, advertisers, or large contributors. This will help it respond to the needs of members, rather than the interests of powerful individuals or corporations. Every two weeks, a binding poll will be held to make an important decision regarding the system.
AEIN membership is currently offered in 16 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Singapore, Uganda, the United States, the U.K., and others. Almost any ISP, modem, or connection will work. For the first week, lifetime membership is available for only $14.95 USD. A monthly rate will apply in subsequent weeks.
With computer servers consuming an ever-increasing supply of electricity worldwide, the AEIN has created an alternative which will help reduce the Internet's burden upon the environment. It also provides a pleasant ad-free resource where members are not pressured to buy the latest products or continually upgrade their computers.

You can access the Alternative Electronic Information Network using your existing Internet connection and ISP, after downloading a small software program. It runs very quickly, regardless of whether you have dial-up or a high speed connection. If your computer uses Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP, it already has adequate hardware for the AEIN. If not, just about any PC-compatible can access it under DOS or DeskMate 3.
Free Membership
Access all content, including news, weather, and product reviews. Post up to 12 times per year on sales boards, download up to 20 files per year. No personal information required. Download the AEIN Access Software for:
Windows 95 through XP / DOS / DeskMate 3.x / DeskMate 3.x Offline Demo
Do not run the DOS version on any Tandy computer with an EEPROM (1000 HX, SL, TL, RL, RLX, others); use the DeskMate version instead.
Step-by-step Setup Instructions for Windows
1. Download the Windows version and save it to your hard drive.
2. Find the file in "My Computer" and right-click it. Extract the compressed files to a new folder. On older versions of Windows, you may need a third-party program like WinZip or PKUNZIP to accomplish this.
3. Go to the new folder and double-click WINAEIN.
4. Select "Register..." from the "Main" menu on the menubar.
5. Read the Terms & Conditions, then select "Register..." again, entering your new username and password.
6. Select "Log in..." from the "Main" menu; enter the username and password.
If the window or the text does not fit your screen properly, change the font under Settings (in the "Main" menu) or adjust the size of your Windows menubar and titlebar fonts in Control Panel.
We have confirmed the software's full compatibility with Windows 95 through XP. It is not compatible with some Windows 7 PCs, and Vista compatibility remains unknown.
About/Contact Information
The AEIN operates a highly efficient online service that members can use to access weather reports, forums, news, recipes, online games, product reviews, statistics, encyclopedia entries and a variety of software downloads. It provides a fast, colorful alternative with minimal commercialization.
The AEIN was established in late 2009 after work to develop the system reached completion. It added many new features and services during 2010 and 2011, including an encyclopedia with over 1,400 entries. A version of the Access Software for DOS became available in 2012.
NOTE as stated earlier, links now seem dead, which is unfortunate as it seamed to be a great concept for those with older computers and still on dial up. Sad to see great work die.
