QuantumLink progress update

19 Aug 2005

...
    Didn't Radio Shack resell the QLink service for
the IBM PC in the
 early 90's?  ISTR, that was one of the services I was on back then
 (Prodigy, GEnie, Compuserve, and I think QLink). 
 Had to have been AOL, sorry. QLink only ever was a Commodore service.
 There was a GEOS-based AOL client for DOS, and I think that did appear
 in some Radio Shack stores. I don't know if it was an official promo
 deal, though. 
 Radio Shack pushed their own GUI, called Deskmate, not Geos.  The first
 (and only) version of Quicken I've ever owned was a Tandy Deskmate
 version.  Came with a runtime version of Deskmate, the way Windows apps
 did before Windows 3.0. 
No, but I do remember using the GEOS-based AOL in Rat Shock stores before;
it was definitely there. This was probably post-DeskMate, though.
