- For those looking for a less expensive, international online service, you
- might want to consider GEnie. I dumped CIS in favor of GEnie long ago,
- primarily due to the big $$$ delta between the two. GEnie Star*Services
- costs a flat $5.95 per month (or is that $4.95?) and for that you get
- unlimited mail privileges and a host of other standard features. The
- computer roundtables (forums, software libraries, etc) and other specialized
- areas of interest cost you $5.95 per hour (evenings/weekends/holidays) at
- 300/1200/2400 baud. And their automated telecomm package, Aladdin, is free
- and is available in PC, Atari ST, Mac and Amiga versions. It's worth a
- look, anyway. I can dig up the toll free 800 number which you can dial up
- for a free trial run if anyone wants it.
-
- BTW, I'm not affiliated with GEnie in any way... just a happy customer.
