The future of Netscape and AOL, according to Jamie.


Things have sort of been on the back burner lately, at some point we'll make some adjustments, fix the guest book, etc. In the mean time, in tribute to other sites like this one, you can visit sucks.com.

While not really a problem with Earthlink per se, this is a pretty interesting little read about one of the co-founders.

We know the guestbook sucks right now, please be patient...when we get a chance we'll do something better. In the mean time, just keep your posts simple. You can e-mail us at prodigysucks2@yahoo.com in the mean time.

We're remodeling...thanks for your patience. In the near future we hope to post the archives in a more delicate fashion, but for now you can find them by clicking here.

Given the recent economic slowdown, this is a unique way one company is dealing with cutting employees.

You know, it's great to get useful input from Prodigy employees - we're glad to facilitate it on this board. I don't always agree with what they're saying, but hey, at least they try and explain what's going on, even if a little candid.

Makes us wonder though what Prodigy's exec's think about all of this. Prodigy's own support - the ones who are probably sick of Prodigy's crap as much as anyone else and still only paid $7.50 an hour to put up with it - feel it's worth trying to help disgruntled customers.

Well, I guess if you don't have to deal with the phone calls yourself it's an easy problem to ignore. Too bad though, the one's who actually care over at Prodigy seem to also be the ones who have the least to gain.

Kudos to PI Guy, Deep Throat, and the rest - and thanks for helping.

On another note, here's why you can't always trust the privacy statement.
