- ------------------------
-
- Note: After a decade of online use, FlashPoint has terminated its
- use and support of GEnie online services as a result of General
- Electric Information System's or GEIS's sale of GEnie to a new owner,
- who, unlike GEIS, apparently prefers engaging in some highly
- questionable, if not illegal, business practices, e.g., double-billing
- its subscribers in a single month, unauthorized eletronic withdraws
- from subscriber's federal bank accounts, monthly usage/rate changes
- (in excess of double previous months rates) without advance notice
- to subscribers, etc.
-
- Suffice it to say, the outlook for GEnie's future growth and ability to
- retain its heretofore loyal 35,000 subscriber base appears rather
- doubtful; therefore, FlashPoint recommends anyone considering joining
- a commercial online service to look for a better alternative than GEnie.
