     I also signed up recently to PRODIGY.  Yes, the intereface will make
you think that your running slower than 2400 baud, but then again I don't
remeber compuserve and other online services as being all that fast either.
It is nice though to have a fairly good looking (for the status quo) VGA
graphics screen being presented to you though.  I may eventuall tire of it,
but for now.... I am enjoying the weather maps (nicely done), the sports and
news in a nutshell.... a couple of the games are pretty interesting.
And the online shopping may be a useful feature for those who don't like
going out to do it.
     All in all... try it for a month free, you've got nothing to lose.
