Genie is great.  Several thousand files in the atari RT as well as a very    
active group of people answering questions, flaming, and generally having a

There are atari reps who actually answer questions there.  

Also, you can get other services besides the Atari RT, like airline tickets

But the best thing is it's price: an incredible $5/hour at 1200 baud.

Wow.
