Is it possible to send/receive email with someone who is on Prodigy?  Please
email back;  why waste bandwidth on what may be a very stoopid question.

thanks,

Yes, a truely stupid question.  But not for your asking, but for the
people who run Prodigy who make it difficult to mail to other Prodigy
users, let along ever support sending anything out to the "real" world.

Perhaps you haven't heard the stories of how subscribers who signed up
with the promise of unlimited electronic mail are now charged for anything
over a very minimal quota.

A sad story...
