Alternatives to CompuServe

Although far less comprehensive than CompuServe, Prodigy has an easy-to-use graphical interface and no access charges for PC and Mac users. America OnLine also features an easy graphical interface and has just started a HP 95LX forum for Mac and PC related issues.

Introduction By Hal Goldstein

I am a great fan of CompuServe and its HPHAND forum as a support vehicle for the HP 95LX. It is the best source available for fast answers to perplexing problems, for discussions about the 95LX, and for a library of 95LX free and shareware software.

However, there are less expensive, easy-to-use electronic information services available. We discuss two here, Prodigy, and America OnLine, thanks to the contribution of subscribers David Shier and Craig de Fasselle. From what I hear the only other electronic source with strong HP 95LX activity is the academic community's network, Internet, discussed on page 16 of the Jan/Feb, 1992 issue. If anyone has more current or complete information, please send your comments to me for publication.
