Actually... Quantum Computer Services started off Quantum Link from the old Commodore 64 Play-Net network and later developed Apple and PC link as those developed (from the old Q-Link system) Quantum Computers changed their name to AOL and later shut down the Commodore Q-Link service after leting it suffer a slow-agonizing demise for a few years. Pitty, it was a good service. There are still a bunch of Q-Link ideosyncracies in the system such as 10 character screen names. There is a web page out there that gives the whole story, I came across it a while back in my surfing. Hopefully Doug Coward will read this and fill us in better, as he was an actual Q-Link employee for many years (read he actually worked there, not a Q-Guide or some sub-op position). -- -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Larry Anderson - Sysop of Silicon Realms BBS (300-2400bd) (209) 754-1363 Visit my Commodore 8-Bit web page at: http://www.goldrush.com/~foxnhare/commodore.html -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-
