AOL is a waste of space. Anyone remember Compuserve? EDIT: LMFAO I've just checked and Compuserve is a subsidiary of AOL! How about Freeserve then?

It has been a long time coming. It has been on IT rumour sites and podcasts for about 6 months now.
And I was with CompuSevrve for years - that was where I first got on the Computer Shopper forums! They were a private board on CIS for years.

Only on CIS! I had an email address back in the early 80s and that was my name...  101816.36@compuserve.com, I think, was mine.
