In Volume 11, Issue 214, Message 3 of 4, Jeff Sicherman asks about an
unidentified "new online service".
 
I believe the company in question is America Online, originally aimed
at Macintosh and Apple II users, and now going after the MS-DOS
market.
 
I tried the Mac version of its service, and found the message areas
relatively empty, but this was a year ago.  I stopped using it because
the company imposes a fairly high communications surcharge for
Canadian users.
