Does anyone know anything about it? :-) That's the service being set up by the same outfit that does QLink for Commodore 64/128. It's being done with Apple's endorsement, but don't expect to find (find out) anything that's not already available from Compu$erve or Genie. QLink gets mixed reviews on the (fairly large number of) Commodore BBS's in these parts. They had some nice "introductory" offers, but once they got a reasonably large, committed user community, they began to charge for many services that had been provided as part of the basic fee. Was the television program the Computer Chronicles (PBS) last weekend? They did a bit on it as part of the "Random Access File" at the end. It's also been reported in InCider and my Vaporware column (a couple of months ago). --------------------- Disclaimer: The "look and feel" of this message is exclusively MINE!
