Compuserve! Now *there* is a blast from the past.

Remember "Prodigy"? Owned by Sears, Roebuck, of all people! That was my
first venture into the on-line world...

IIRC, there was another competitor of Prodigy and CompuServe around then but
can't think of its name. It used Gopher searches. Also, BBS's were big back
then and some of them would sync their messages together nightly using Fido
net. Most would run on 1,200 bps, some were only 300 but the 'good' ones
supported 2,400. Most could only have one person dial in at a time.

- I miss my 300bps dial-up modem. (yeah, right...)
