I picked up Prodigy for my XT clone. It was $30.00, with 3 free months (which would have cost another $30.00). The ONLY thing I found usefull was the stock prices and news section. I didn't see a single thing on sale that I couldn't have purchased elseware at a better price. Even the various software companys, such as Broderbund, only advertised PC and Mac software. The bottom line is that Prodigy is aimed at the non computer literate "family" user. I droped my subscription after my 3 month "free" trial period. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- These words be mine.
