Bag Prodigy, if only for its abysmal 1st Amendment record. (If that doesn't 
bother you, the proprietary interface with ads all over the screen will.)

As to CompuServe and GEnie, it depends on what you want. If you need to send
mail to Internet users, you have to go with CompuServe. They've got a 
gateway, GEnie doesn't. If you just want to use general-purpose databases,
CompuServe has more--and costs more--than GEnie. For software archives, 
it's about the same. CompuServe has a little more, but it's more $$.

I have accounts on both. I never use the CompuServe anymore, I do use the
GEnie. I use it to send mail to other GEnie users, and to use the Easy
Saabre gateway to make travel reservations.
