I grew up in it. We picked Prodigy at the time on our Tandy 1000 because of the services Prodigy directly offered to their subscribers. We liked their message boards. They had a Sesame Street area in their application that would refresh every few days with new content. This is entirely unlike the service I get with my ISP today. I chose them because they're the only ones with fiber lines to my house. Sure sounds like back in the day when SBC was the only line to my house now doesn't it? Funny too because the box that fiber line runs to has a RBOC label on it and the manholes for the larger service conduits have their old RBOC name still. One might think they're just the RBOC doing the same RBOC things they used to do. Huh, I wonder which kind of service this ISP of today should be regulated as. Like the old SBC or Prodigy?
