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?
