Have you seen the book "DOS Tips, Tricks, and Traps"? It is full of

You inject ink just about any way you can - I fiddled with filed down
|
|
brass tubing, etc - a syringe, though difficult to obtain, is best. You
|
|
can also possibly make your own from things like old oil injectors, etc.
|
|
You may wish to drill a hole in the top, and use an eyedropper to put
|
|
ink in, letting it soak in, then plugging the hole so excess evaporation
|
|
doesn't occur.
|
|
P.S. there are other inks more highly recommended than my Pelikan 4001,
|
|
but I've had no trouble with that one. Unfortunately I don't remember
|
|
what ink was most highly recommended - I think Scrip, but not sure.

How about advantages and disadvantages to the competeing systems?

Since you're on CIS, I think the MAC fora there are the best place to
|
|
go ask about mac BBSs (unless you find another mac based BBS whose software
|
|
you like).
|
|
GO MAC - but from there, I'm not sure which fora are the best, you'd have
|
|
to choose by the names.
|
|
P.S. is your CIS ID REALLY 57,2262? I've never seen that few digits
|

(or did a line glitch eat some chars?)

|

Prodigy is a service of IBM and Sears. It has a graphical front end,
|
|
mandatory "supplied by them" commo program, and is generally oriented to
|
|
novices - many experienced BBS, CIS, Source, Genie, etc users consider it
|
|
quite frustrating. For example, I hate the fact that I can't use a normal
|
|
commo program with the ability to capture screens, etc - I thus consider
|
|
ALL MAIL I receive or send on Prodigy, to be "volatile" - for I will never
|
|
capture it to disk for later searching, etc. (I have a directory of all
|
|
my '88 CIS msgs, another with all the '89 ones, etc - and I frequently
|
|
search them for previous comments, etc).
|
|
However, the price is good at $79 a year with no hourly connect charges.
|
|
You can do "cute" things like see weather maps, etc. You need at least
|
|
an EGA to enjoy it - it is in boring B/W on a CGA.
|
|
Some people like it a lot - I know one person who did most of their Xmas
|
|
shopping via Prodigy. I wouldn't mind checking stocks on it, but I've not
|
|
found how. (anyone reading this know how? Please REply to this msg).

P.S. you might do "qr;1,prodigy" to get all the previous msgs about

Prodigy - there are dozens. Also, you won't see your own msgs nor my

|
|
Hi Joe;
|
|
|
|
Well the Prodigy people claim that you can't not compare them to other
|
|
on-line services because they are interactive services. While I am not sure
|
|
I buy that. They are different in a number of ways. First the cost from
|
|
Prodigy is a flat $9.95 a month whether you use it or not. You can't use it
|
|
from 12AM to 6AM in the morning. They have less local number than other
|
|
on-line services. For example, Wisconsin doesn't even have one yet!
|
|
|
|
One difference again is Prodigy has their own software and you cannot use
|
|
our own. It works only on MS-DOS computers and now MAC's. It uses the
|
|
graphic screen instead of ASCII characters which slows down the
|
|
communication very much. It also has advertisements on part of your screen
|
|
too. Nothing to get real excited about, as the most I have seen was about
|
|
30 different ones maximum.
|
|
|
|
The good news! It can and does display the nation weather map. It has a
|
|
national BBS, a EMAIL service, news, etc. It is fun if you are bored and
|
|
have nothing better to do. I think if one really needed one of the services
|
|
they offer, then it is a good deal.
|
|
|
|
Me I had it for 3 months and got nothing I really used. It doesn't even
|
|
have any files to upload or download. So take your pick! BTW, The Source is
|
|
now dead, but dumped their users to CompuServe! <BW>
|
|
|
|
BTW, I wrote this message off-line and there wasn't any replies yet. But
|
|
I see you have two already. Well I still uploaded this because it contained
|
|
information the others didn't! Take care!
