Yeah, I was in CompuServe early on, too. I loved it. What AOL did to CompuServe is criminal, but not why I hate them so much. I had an agreement with them as a content provider, signed contract and all, and they just stopped paying one day. No explanation, no nothing. They still owe me a fair amount of money on that. Continuing to try and rip me off for membership long after I quit was just adding insult to injury.
