I was waiting for them to release Applelink for the Mac as they
were supposed to be beta testing the service for the Mac but
then Apple pulled the plug on Applelink before the general

finally made its appearance on the Mac platform.  I also was
a tester for Prodigy but I much perferred AOL to Prodigy.
