You're right that Prodigy has some real disadvantages: it's slow, the
interface is very "un-Mac like", and it doesn't offer file
downloading.

However, considering the price difference between it and America
Online, I'll take Prodigy. Since I'm paying a flat rate per month, I'm
not that concerned about speed. The interface I can live with. As for
file downloading: comp.source.mac, Fidonet file requests, and Mac BBS's
provide me with anything I'd ever want.
