You didn't really mean to say this, did you Jon..?
 
GEnie charges $4.95 a month just to use the service... everything else
that a normal user would want to access is extra cost, at $6.00/hour.
 
Even those Roundtables that are included in the Star*Services flat rate
DO NOT include downloading...   you can read all the messages you want
in the Scuba Roundtable, for instance, but if you want to download any
underwater pictures, the meter starts, and you pay $6.00/hour.
 
ALL the computer-specific Roundtables cost $6.00/hour for everything...
messages, conferenceing and downloading...
