Any >GEnie subscribers out there that can tell us what the catch is? (if any) Yes, it's true! GEnie is going to a $4.95/month flat rate (with no more line charges) for most of their services. These services include the mail system, 8 news services, all the bulletin boards for hobbies, leisure, and human interest, closing stock quotes and other money stuff, entertainment, travel, all the shopping groups, and administration & info. There is still an hourly charge for: PC round-table bulletin boards, software libraries (i.e. downloads), chat lines and real time conferencing, multiplayer games, value-added services, and a couple other things. The good news here is that there is no longer an additional charge for using 2400 baud instead of 1200 baud. I am not associated with GEnie, except as a subscriber. -- _ |__ Alex Matulich (alex@bilver.UUCP) /(+__> Unicorn Research Corp, 4621 N Landmark Dr, Orlando, FL 32817 //| \ UUCP: ...uunet!tarpit!bilver!alex ///__) bitnet: IN%"bilver!alex@uunet.uu.net"
