2003-12-03|Day Pass for Ottawa Citizen Electronic Edition
To whom it may concern
I am a long-time subscriber of the Ottawa Citizen. Today (2003-12-03), the newspaper arrived with vertical stripes of black ink about 150 mm in width, due to a mishap in the printing process. The stripes are on Page A3, A5, B6 and D6, strategically located to render interesting articles partially or completely unreadable.
I realise that as a paid subscriber, the Ottawa Citizen is willing to send out a replacement newspaper without charge. However, it would involve somebody driving extra to my house, contributing to air pollution, greenhouse gas, etc.
I am pleased that the Ottawa Citizen has introduced the Electronic Edition at last. I am not quite ready to switch because the Internet-connected computer in my home is shared among 5 family members, some of whom demand heavy usage.
Therefore, I would like to request that a "Day Pass" to the Electronic Edition be introduced for access to the full electronic edition just for a day, with a temporary login password. This could even be extended to a "Weekly/Monthly Gift Subscription" to be marketed as a gift access, further increasing the interest (and eventually the revenue and profit) in the Electronic Edition.
BTW, my computer is an Apple iMac with Mac OS X 10.3. My web browser is Safari 1.0. When I click on "Try a Demo", the Olive ActivePaper software gives the following error message.

Clicking on "Continue" enables me to read the contents with some problems like overlapping text and more pop-up error messages. I would like to request that the Safari browser be fully supported.
