El,, I agree about CompuServe, but one of the online services that I know
of in the later 80's was Tandy's PC-Link. It came with DeskMate, and was
text-only (I think). I'm not sure of the prices, because I never signed
up, though. As for graphics, I don't thing there was much graphics. Most
of it was text.

need to give a comparison of today's cost of sending a
graphics file.
Er...CompuServe didn't have Internet access in the 80s. For that matter, it doesn't really have it in the 90s but
that's a matter of opinion. =-D
