I'm not sure I've got it all figured out, but... according to http:// 
www.digitaluniverse.net/participate/ , "While participation in  
discussion about the Digital Universe is free, we do require that you  
have a registered account with us. You can also download the free  
ManyOne browser..."

The free ManyOne browser, which apparently embodies technology needed  
to participate, is only available for Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

While "participation in discussion about the Digital Universe" may be  
"free," according to http://isp.earthportal.net/ it appears that  
getting that "registered account" costs $7.95 a month.

I have no idea what they think they're doing, but I am not impressed.
