I miss Prodigy as well. Both excellent services in different ways.
- mattw2121 2y agoAs far as I know, the ID was reflective of the user ID format for the PDP-10's it ran on.
- JonAtkinson 2y agoMy Compuserve username is permanently burned into my brain: 100131,756. And my password was the wonderfully evocative "spite:ambush".
- howard941 2y agoUsername, yes, 75006,702. But not the password. It was a decent password though. I didn't pick it.
- TheOtherHobbes 2y agoCompuserve ran on DEC PDP-10s. The login ID format on TOPS-10 was programmer#,project# (octal).
- op00to 2y agoVery cool! Thank you.
