How can you say that, when CIS offers unlimited access to core
services? I can shop, read the newspaper, send/recieve e-mail (up to 90
messages a month), read People magazine or US News and World Report,
view entertainment news, make travel reservations, and more... 24 hours
a day, 7 days at week, at 14.4 (28.8 in some areas) for only $9.95??

Of course, the BEST deal is an Internet provider. I recommend Netcom to
all Windows PC users. 440 hours a month of everything = $19.95... FTP,
newsgroups, WWW, IRC, Gopher, e-mail, etc... (To make that comment
relevant to this newsgroup, I think they offer shell accounts for
$17.95, which could be accessed with any communications software.)

P.S. Looking at my two last posts, it's not obvious I don't really care
for GEnie... is it? Laughing... Sorry... the Apple II library might be
good, but it's overpriced, and under-contented... my opinion is just my
opinion...
