Apropos to our recent discussion of Prodigy, I just received an offer
from Quantum Computer Services in Vienna, VA to beta test their new
on-line service, America Online, which "will allow pc owners to
participate in interactive computer forums, download thousands of
public domain and shareware programs, check stock prices and the
latest news, play interactive, multi-player games, and more."

They want folks to test their current beta software which is a graphic
windowing interface for DOS machines.  They will provide the software
and *unlimited free online access time* to test the service.

It's signed "Cynthia Hibbs, Asst. Marketing Manager," with a
post-script to "feel free to share this invitation with your friends!"

So, friends, give them a call at 703-448-8700.  They'll send you an
equipment survey to make sure your hardware meets their minimum
requirements.
