I believe Prodigy does have something like SIGs. I've exchanged messages with people about Ami Professional in the past. But it *is* v e r y s l o w . That's because it's sending pixels, not characters over the line. And it also updates the software on the user's end whenever you logon and a new version is available. I find it too slow to use. I just can't stand waiting and waiting for the screen to display so I can escape back to previous menu. But even worse, as you mentioned, is the blatant commercial nature of the beast. Not a single screen is drawn without an ad across the bottom. It's kind of like listening to your favorite CD on one speaker and non-stop advertising on the other. And while I'm at it, GEnie ain't too hot either (though nothing is quite so poorly done as Prodigy). I can never seem to navigate GEnie as easily as CIS. There is 1 Reply. Read action !
