Goodbye Old Friend

It appears that a dear old friend was finally put to rest as of June 30, 2009. CompuServe was finally put to rest after nearly 30 years of bringing people to the Internet. I have fond memories of getting on the Internet (at least the 80's version of it) using my father's CompuServe and Prodigy accounts via 2400 baud modem. Here's some more background about the history of CompuServe including some great classic ads.
