I appreciate you comments, Norm, and your work as a sysop. This is the
first time, though, that I have seen $10 quoted for GEnie. I have a local
access number that I've used for 3 years. I have always been charged $6.50
per hour at any speed non-prime time (after 6pm.) Before 6pm the charge is
$35.00 per hour. My local node began supporting 2400 baud last summer, and
I gratefully began using the faster speed at the same price.

So, how much does GEnie cost, really?

Keep up your good work!
