[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] How do I get info to subscribe to GEnie or Compuserve

jlc@atux01.UUCP (J. Collymore) (12/17/87)

In the last two issues of MacUser magagazine, they have begun a regular
section called:  Flash Cards.  It's a brief review of new HyperCard (HC)
stacks, commercial, shareware and freeware, (usually showing a couple of cards
representative of the stack) that are coming out on the market.

With alot of these stacks are available on either Compuserve or GEnie.  I was
considering that it may be worth it to go out and buy a modem, Red Ryder and
put up $50+ to get a new phone outlet in my apartment so as to subscribe to
these BBSs. 

I guess my first question is:  Do many of you find these BBSs worth the cost
for what you can download from them?

Second question:  How does one subscribe to either of these two BBSs?

Third question:  How much does it cost?

Thanks for your replies.
