I thought you were talking about the band as well. The real question is, does anyone remember Jazz Jackrabbit?

I didn't use Prodigy until 1994. Then I graduated to compuserve, then to AOL, then to trumpet winsock and a local ISP. That was fun until cable modem/DSL access came around in 1999. I haven't looked back since :).

Prodigy, those were the days! I remember when I had it and my sister and I were on EasySabre checking flight schedules and ticket prices. We thought it was the coolest thing in the world. :D

Oddly enough, one of my friends back in 1992 had a sister that worked for Prodigy. They had a deal so they could give out free accounts to family members and friends.....we used to download stuff all the time from there. We always preferred it over AOL.

This is about the only dialup service that I didn't join. GEnie was my first love, but I quit when they raised their rates because they got this thing called the internet.

I believe my parents had it in the very early 90's on the IBM PS/1 (286). My grandparents had the same computer and used Prodigy until about 99/00ish when Prodigy finally stopped support/allowing the version (the only one that would run on a 286) on their network. They went and got a Compaq computer after that.

Trumpet winsock FTW, those were the days.
