Hi! This excerpt from WHOLE EARTH REVIEW, summer 1990, excerpted without permission, on Prodigy from an article by Stewart Brand. "By contrast, treating information customers strickly as consumers is leading the mass-market videotex system called Prodigy toward failure, despite (or because of) the $700 million sunk into it so far by IBM and Sears." Hey, imagine what Commodore, Inc. could fail at with $700 million to burn... :-) sandy ------------Sandy Antunes "the Waupelani Kid" 'cause that's where I live... antunes@ASTROD.psu.edu Penn State Astronomy Dept --- "once in a lifetime there comes a time... but this ain't it" ---
