- My wife has lately begun to express interest in getting into
- CompuServe. Since I've had continuous and copious Internet access for five
- years+ now, I know next to nothing about CompuServe, and thus have no idea
- whether it's likely to be cost-effective for our purposes.
-
- I would like to hear whatever comments CompuServe subscribers
- have to make about the service. In particular I'm interested in
-
- * ease and reliability of email traffic to/from Internet
-
- * "reasonable"ness of pricing, in particular relative to
- public access Unix
-
- * incidence of busy signals
-
- * learning curve for the computer novice
-
-
-
- Any and all opinions welcome. Please respond by email. Thanks.
