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 Anthony Clifton - Wirehead

Don't you just love it when people decide to answer a question with the answer to a DIFFERENT question <g>... I don't remember Compuserve, since I signed up for that later, but when I signed up for the Source (Telecomputing Corporation of America) in 1979 the charges were: A. Monthly minimum $5.00 B. Connect time Prime 15.00 / hr C. Connect time Non-Prime 2.75 / hr D. Disc Storage 0.033 / 2048 character block / day E. Network Registration 100.00 (one time charge) And remember, this was before public Internet - your connection ONLY went to other Source members. I had Internet access through Oregon State, but it was *strictly* non-commercial - oh, the "good old days..." The system (from my other manuals) ran on Pr1me 650's. And the Source even provided (for a nominal charge) ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE programming manuals. What FUN! Gary At 06:06 PM 10/9/98 -0800, you wrote:
