>>>> 13 years - you were an early bird. Guess I'm one of the pioneers... <g> Started out at the ripe old age of 39 in 1990 on a 286-16 computer with a "huge" 40mb hard drive and a blazingly "fast" 2400 modem. But surprisingly, even with that relatively ancient equipment, cruising through the old Prodigy system was a mostly pleasant and surprisingly fast experience... We had a lot of intelligent and famous folks to communicate with, and bashing did not become a major problem until the mid-1990s. When they pulled the plug in 1999, it was a very sad time for us "old timers". About us not having to have any concerns about our government unless we are breaking the law, I used to think like that also. These days it would not surprise me at all if the government has a list of those who bash it's policies and methods on bulletin boards.
