Hello, all.  I've noticed a lot of people on this echo use Genie.
I've been looking for an online information service to receive the
news wire, leave message, get files, and amongh other tings.  We all
know about protigy, I was one of many who wrote letters complaining
about the lack of access for blind users.  Compuserve charges way
too mch, $6.00 per month, and .23 a minute!  There's got to be
something better out there?  What is Genie like, and how much does
it cost per month and per minute?  What services are there, and how
does it work with speech.  Any information anyone could give me on
this subject would be greatly appreciate, thanks in advance, Beth.
