I clicked on a link to a story in the NYT

and I am getting a "warning" of "4 articles remaining." (Used to be 9, or 6..)

What does it mean? That after four more visits I will not be able to read anything?

will look at it after the Christmas rush. I am told by my financial institution that I need to upgrade my browser but.. I am told that I cannot do this.

I used to be able to hold a Mac forever, no longer.

Sigh

I have no problem with paying to subscribe to the Times and few other pubs. Helps keep 'em around.

14. You know, I have often thought that I would not mind pay one sum for all the major newspapers

to visit. I do pay for the WSJ and when I post here I try to put as many paragraphs as I can to deliver the message.

It is not only the NYT, I think that WaPo and Boston Globe and, perhaps, others, block you.

I wish that all the main newspapers - sadly, there are not that many these days - would join forces and charge us a flat fee - $50 a year? I will gladly pay.

It used to happen with the Washington Post too but someone on DU said you can read the articles from them through Google and it works. It doesn't work for the NYT though. I just got the same notice today when I tried to read an article earlier...I guess I reached my monthly limit.
