Peace... Sridhar
My apologies, but there are some pictures, if
interested:
Well, this is one of the coolest things I've seen this year. Many
congratuations on getting your initial stages working.
You know what I miss? Prodigy. I miss the high-resolution vector
graphics -- some truly amazing pictures went down the 1200 baud wire
amazingly quickly because the vector art obviously took up much less
space than bitmap art (even ASCII art!). In 1989, it was the web before
the web was even concieved (including advertising!!).
There was a Prodigy 'demo' disk floating around that simulated a Prodigy
session to try to get people to sign up. It didn't require the service
itself, or even a modem -- does anyone have this disk?
