- sct202 8y agoI can find references to Prodigy having an online shopping portal, but I have had trouble finding any anecdotes of people actually buying things thru it. It was probably too early for it's time (early 90s graphics, internet speed and all) and it's failure probably soured Sears from future attempts by the time Amazon showed up.
