GEnie is General Electric Network for Information Exchange, and yes, it's much like CI$ in the fact that it has software libraries and a bulletin board area. (Obviously, the system software is different, however.) GEnie is $5 an hour during non-primetime (6PM to 8AM I believe) for 300/1200 baud. For 2400 baud, it gets expensive. There is a signup fee of about $30 which includes a spiral bound manual on getting around GEnie. There are usually deals that can be found to signon without the fee. Atari has one, but I don't know the access code to use offhand. Perhaps someone else can supply it. Intersect also offers one, I believe. (I believe you do not get the manual in these cases either.) Client Services (real people) can be reached at 800-638-9636. They can give you information on local access numbers and signing up.
