Compuserve was too hard to get into, but Prodigy... that was my jam.

Yeah we had Prodigy also. Accessed via 2400 baud modem if I recall.

CompuServe had its heyday much earlier I believe. I think I was on dialup to BBSs before Prodigy.

And then EarthLink.

I think I was on Prodigy a little bit before BBS' then after the BBS era began to wain it was dialup PPP (then a hacked PPP server at MIT), and shell systems.
