Prodigy discontinuing thier Prodigy Classic service on
October 1.
a bank of outmoded minicomputers and mainframes
Any idea what they are? I seem to recall that the original Compu$erve ran
on Pr1mes of
some kind, but no idea what Prodigy used. Vaxen? IBM 370's?
Is anybody going after those computers? Sounds like a
very historically
significant groups of systems.
I'd have to agree, hopefully they will find an honourable retirement with
someone,
a museum should be interested, given the significance of the service they
ran.
