So far, nothing on how soon or how much (if they use DASNET it won't be free, if they go the same route as CIS and MCImail, it'll be free from here to there at least. A different source doubts that GEnie is aware of the Internet. That seems strange because I'm told that AppleLink (Corporate) runs on the same computer (AppleLink.Apple.COM). I'd think that GEnie would be a competitive disadvantage compared to CIS and MCImail (to say nothing of FidoNet which ALSO has gateways to the Internet) if they remain isolated. Finally (as long as I've got your attention), has anyone heard anything from Jerry Cline about his "marketing people at Apple are enthusiastic about the II even if they fail to communicate directly with the user community" project since the executive shakeup and subsequent stategic turmoil at Apple? /s Murph [Internet] or ...{psuvax1 or mcvax}!uconnvm.bitnet!sewall [UUCP] + Standard disclaimer applies ("The opinions expressed are my own" etc.)
