Those services may be positive alternatives to CompuServe.  Thanks for the
information/suggestion.

The Internet offers many of these services FOR FREE, which is something you
conveniently ignore. <

You ignored the part about finding many of these services for FREE on the
Internet.  Why pay for something that is free elsewhere?  Would you purchase
air from CompuServe if they bottled it?

From the comments posted here and made by former/present CompuServe
customers, their services do not appear to be up to standard.  The inability
to gain connections, poorly trained customer service representatives, and
technical glitches that have been reported do not reflect a company that an
informed consumer would want to use.

As I said, @home obviously fills a much needed rift in CompuServe service.
Thanks for the comments/information.
