Actually it's an excellent deal for non-subscribers. It's considerably
cheaper than the print version, but it is very easy to use as a substitute.
I chose not to pay since I already get the print version, but the WSJ was
one of my favorite online newspapers while I had free access to it. It is
has one of the best online layouts I have seen. It looks like the paper
version. It is very easy to scan headlines and then, if you want, to click
to the whole story.

I like the WSJ layout much better than Barron's, which has incorporated
frames--which, in my opinion, are a waste of my monitor space.
