I also tried PRODIGY for the free month's trial. I thought it was too marketing oriented. 10% to 20% of each screen was devoted to advertising for some product or service available at extra cost. Also, it seemed that none of the really useful services were included in the basic monthly rate (you get just the opposite impression from their ads on TV and in print). Most of the imformation that is available through basic rate services is more easily obtainable through watching TV, listening to the radio, or reading a newspaper. Needless to say, I dropped the service after the first month. My recommendation: If you're really curious, try it for the free month, then drop it. It's really not worth the money.
