More than archives it would be so amazing if it could be resurrected in some meaningful way. Maybe not totally interactive, but a read-only mode. Even old AOL.

- VectorLock 5y agoThat would actually be extremely interesting. I remember there are some peaks under the hood of the AOL and Prodigy backend and it was fascinating. Both Prodigy and AOL I think have fallen into Yahoo's hands now. I wonder if there is a "Department of Ancient Online Services" space at Yahoo.
- pheller 5y agoSee the links on the reply above - I hope to have an accessible Prodigy service by late this Summer!
- azinman2 5y agoWowowowowowow. That’s so amazing! Good luck with this project. I’m impressed with what you’ve done so far and can’t wait to see how it turns out! If it could work with the Mac client I remember it looking a bit different. I’m guessing that was all in the client itself.
- pheller 5y agoIt should work with the very oldest Mac client, which I'll test just as soon as I find a 68k emulator with serial/modem emulation.
