HI BETH.  I RECENTLY SUBSCRIBED TO GENIE, SO I'M STILL IN THE PROCESS OF
EVALUATING IT.  THE MAJOR CHANGE IS THAT FAIRLY RECENTLY, THEY WENT TO A
SYSTEM REFERRED TO AS THEIR BASIC SERVICES.  IT COSTS $4.95 FOR UNLIMITED
USE DURING NON-PRIME TIME, (6 P.M.-8 A.M, WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS.  IF YOU
LEAVE THE BASIC AREA, YOU PAY BY THE HOUR, $6 PER HOUR DURING NON-PRIME
TIME.  THE PRIME TIME RATE IS $18; I TRY TO USE IT ONLY DURING NON-PRIME
TIME.  THERE ARE A VARIETY OF SERVICES IN THE BASIC AREA, INCLUDING THE BBS
ADDRESSING ISSUES RELATED TO VISUAL IMAPIRMENT.  GENIE DOES WORK WELL WITH
SPEECH AND IS A GOOD OPTION FOR THOSE OF US USING SPEECH AT A REASONABLE
RATE.  FINALLY, THE MANUAL FOR GENIE CAN DE DUMPED TO A DISK FILE USING THE
CAPTURE CAPABILITY OF MOST SOFTWARE PROGRAMS.  HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL.
REGARDS, LES.
