I have finally found a service with worse response time than 
Compuserve and more useless. (I want my registration back).
The BIX service of BYTE is worse than useless. It is either 
overloaded or the guys at the University of Gueth (or something
like that) are just poor designers. Both functionally and 
operationally BIX is UNACCEPTABLE. Their "database" part is
slower than a Apple II and the "conferencing" makes Compuserve
look just GREAT.

As you can see I am not a fan of that mess.
