My old (1982) CIS number was on the mailing label for my monthly

Interesting... I'll have to dig up that old magazine and check my mailing lable.
One of the things I did long ago was to beta-test a slick C-64 VidTex
(text plus simple character-based color graphics) client. I still
have the xeroxed preliminary manual and a disk image with the client.
Turns out that 20 years later, I was working in the same group with
some of the guys who developed content that was designed for that
client. They were pretty pleased to see me bring it in and fire it up
under VICE. Nice little trip down memory lane for them.

I would be surprised to hear that anyone runs across any content - I
went looking for it with my work PPN in 2000 and couldn't find
diddly-squat. I was told that all the "old stuff" had been taken off
some time before.
My heyday with the service was in the 1982-1985 timeframe, with a C-64
and VIC MODEM (300 baud, handset attachment (manual dial, move the
cord when the host answers)) and a "terminal program" I wrote in
BASIC. We also had a CompuServe node behind glass at the science
museum I volunteered around the same time - a DECsystem 2020 (KS-10?)
with a few C-64 terminals out on the museum floor piped into "the
service". The content from that era (GO GAMES, GO TRAVEL...) was
nowhere to be found in 2000. I didn't use the file archives until I
was a consultant at CompuServe in 1994-1995 writing tax software for
H&R Block (the owners of CompuServe at the time), but that was an
entirely different era (DEC PDP-10s going away, "32 bit hosts" (Intel
boxes running UNIX) coming online, SC-25s and SC-30s starting to come
in to replace DEC 36-bit hosts...)
In its time, it was a fun place to work. One of those situations they
really _were_ the "good old days".

I remember around '87-88 or so I dl'd the entire OSI library because it
was scheduled to be taken offline. Disk space I believe was the reason
given. And it was removed.
The TI sig. at least the file libraries, is archived at ftp.whtech.com.
When it was folded into the Orphan Computer sig, some of it (messages,
mostly, I *think*) was taken offline. Again disk usage was the reason
given, as I recall.
I'm sure some other forums have been preserved in different places, too.
That's about the best that could be hoped for unless Compuserve has
archive tapes and could put the material back online. Some of it is
proprietary, though. I'd like to get the Pecan Software libraries for
the P-system stuff, for instance, but I don't know if they're even still
in business, and I'm not sure if I remember correctly how the licensing
went for the 3rd-party forums CIS hosted.
I imagine CIS has some right to put at least the user contributed stuff
back up, but maybe just not enough interest has been expreesed. The
legal department, would probably want authorization from the forum owner
regardless, probably.

A follow-up...
I did successfully log-on with my old CIS ID and password but it told me I
had to call Customer Service to reactivate it or use "sign-up." It's
interesting that after being deactivated since 1999, my CIS "classic" ID is
still reserved.
OK, so I go to compuserve.com (part of AOL) and try to login...it said my
account was restricted and I should call a customer service drone. Makes
perfect sense.
They actually want you to pay $18/month for access, which I guess represents
the legacy dial-up business.

I _think_ the business model with the 36-bit stuff is to leave it
alone and as long as people send their money in, take it. As long as
they are only paying electricity to keep the servers on, it must be
profitable. Maintenace is to be discouraged as an unnecessary
expense.

Heh... no doubt they aren't running cs.com web servers from the 36-bit

(look at how many embedded devices have web servers), but I mean like
apache or ncsa or something "real".

Now here's the critical question - can you still get access to things
like the CP/M, Commodore, Tandy and other old system related file libraries?
If so, is there any way to get a new account?
tnx!

I think you can, but the sense you get is they really want you to use
and AOL/Netscape screenname. It does say you can contact customer
