Most graphics available on CIS are in GIF format.  There are a number of  
GIF viewers available for the NeXT, take a look on Purdue.  I mostly use  
either ImageViewer (because I just like it), or GIFViewer (because it can  
load at double size by default).

If you are concerned about how to dowwnload, then I suggest that you use  
kermit, also available on Purdue.

Compared to the net?  That's a matter of opinion.  You meet different  
people, with different attitudes, and Compuserve has a lot of database  
areas which (so far as I know) aren't available on the net, if that sort  
of thing interests you.
