El,, I agree about CompuServe, but one of the online services that I know
of in the later 80's was Tandy's PC-Link. It came with DeskMate, and was
text-only (I think). I'm not sure of the prices, because I never signed
up, though. As for graphics, I don't thing there was much graphics. Most
of it was text.
