Damn it. For years I have a box with this stuff in the same place and
then I go looking for it and it's not there anymore. In the course of
looking, I happen upon a disk that was a BIX (Byte Information Exchange)
simulation disk that was interesting and put it to the side, but in the
course of moving more boxes around it too disappeared. I seem to have a
Bermuda Triangle of sorts in that particular area of the warehouse.
Anyway, if I end up finding the Prodigy demo someday I'll be sure to
mention it.

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?
I'm pretty sure I do, but standard caveats apply. In this case, it's
either mixed in with a thousand other disks or it's in one of two boxes
filled with just online services manuals and software. I'll try to check
it out when I get a chance, and if I find it I'll send a copy to you.
