Purchasing Darkbasic is a rariety as it does not require a non free personal e-mail account ie you can purchase it online with hotmail or yahoo. but almost all other digitally purchased software requires a paid account and if like me you are econmically reserved (a cheap bastard) then you will not wish to pay for an e-mail account. Are there any ways around this?

How do you get onto the Internet? I don't know of any ISPs that *don't* include email accounts with their service!
