- It's available by mail for $25 with a $25 usage credit. I received it
- yesterday and tried it out. I had a hard time getting myself to
- log off; it's a fantastic interface with nice bells and whistles.
-
- One thing I must say is that it seems to be *much* faster than
- the DOS CIM interface. There must be some fairly effecient
- caching mechanism built in.
-
- I'm also on AOL but I think I'm going to get off of that. I really
- like the look and feel of the interface, but:
-
- 1) it's too expensive compared to compuserve
- 2) it doesn't have nearly as many groups as compuserve
