Official Prodigy letter to subscribers says it all. "Dear Prodigy Classic Member, Back in 1988, the Prodigy Classic service was launched as the world's first consumer-focused online service, built using proprietary technologies that predate current Internet standards. Due to the limitation of these technologies, we are unable to make them Y2K (year 2000) compliant. As a result, Prodigy Classic will operate until October 1999. As a Prodigy Classic member, you are an extremely valued and loyal member of our Prodigy family, and I know that this announcement will be a disappointment to many of you.
