Maybe the LA area has lower subscriber density. Well I was in the "main" area and was feeding off the actual main system, not a server as I'm sure you must be. But that's rather frustrating for people who live in the New York area. Do we have to pay becuase we have the "main" system near us and are given last priority? I'm sorry, but I still think that Prodigy is not all its cracked up to be. I have a 386/VGA and a 2400 baud modem, so my problem is certainly not lack of computing power. Once I got the darn screens they flashed on the screen fast enough.. Still, this is only one man's opinion... ...Manu
