That free CompuServe demo hour was a ripoff:  they stuffed your credit
card with a bunch of surcharges that people weren't informed about.  There
was some big lawsuit about it, though I don't remember how it came out.

Not to say that CompuServe itself was a ripoff;  the CoCo SIG there was a
unique goldmine of information in the early days, though the bills got
expensive.  They eventually gave me a free flag on the CoCo SIG, so I can't
complain too much.
