What Dave said.
Additionally:
Prodigy is GUI so it can't be read by screen readers.
Prodigy's flat rate went up from $9.95 to $12.95 /mo. Oct 1
Prodigy looks lousy on CGA.
Prodigy should not even have to charge the users, considering there
is an ad on every screen.
Prodigy has engaged in censorship for several months. I had a
"blasphemous" message censored from one of the bulletin boards.
That's right, blasphemous. I suggested that Eden was a con and
Adam and Eve were set up. (I was responding to another msg.) No
foul or abusive language, no name-calling, no 4-letter words.
Prodigy denied BBS space to several groups including: substance
abuse recovery groups, atheists, lesbians and other
non-conformists. (and handicapped for *quite* a while, except
during the ADA controversy, when it was 'news')
Prodigy has no provisions for off-line readers.
In short, Prodigy is not worth it.
I cancelled.
TCOY,

* SLMR 1.0 * Boycott Prodigy!
