- I'm sending this to the list, as the question is commonly asked of
- trainers. Prodigy is NOT connected to the Internet. It is NOT likely
- that it will be in the foreseeable future, as the Prodigy (Sears Roebuck)
- folks have been very careful to keep their net clean and pure, and do
- exercise censorship or cancellation on those who do not follow their
- rules. The above is NOT a flame or criticism, but something that prospective
- Prodigy subscribers should be aware of. For some it is good, some bad,
- depending on your point of view.
