   I'm sending this to the list, as the question is commonly asked of
trainers.  Prodigy is NOT connected to the Internet.  It is NOT likely
that it will be in the foreseeable future, as the Prodigy (Sears Roebuck)
folks have been very careful to keep their net clean and pure, and do
exercise censorship or cancellation on those who do not follow their
rules.  The above is NOT a flame or criticism, but something that prospective
Prodigy subscribers should be aware of.  For some it is good, some bad,
depending on your point of view.
