Re: Re: How many original GEnie people are left?

I am assuming the question was not tongue-in-cheek (I don't know how old or young some people here are.)GEnie was an on-line service like Compuserve. You paid for it by the minute. It was all text-based, but it had the best format for discussions that I've ever encountered, especially if you used a program called Aladdin to run it. GEnie was sponsored by General Electric, hence the name. I initially used it for the science fiction forum and one day wandered over to the Diplomacy forum, discovering a great bunch of players who became friends. I got to meet a great many at the yearly gaming tournament in Hunt Valley, Maryland, but haven't able to make a tourney in several years.
