Actually, I believe they have. Problem is still limit to 14.4 speed as www
gets every richer with graphics and maps, but it seems to me that quietly
they have taken several steps to speed things up where they can and have
added features. One of the better ones -- discussed previously on this list
and aol has too, though without as many options -- is the ability to select a
URL on the fly or from your hot list wherever you are in the P* system.
If you see a Netscape page in Netscape and then on Prodigy you will be
disappointed. But many on P* don't see the Netscape version and therefore
don't know. The other limitation I hope they're working on is that jpegs
display with a viewer but not when they are the screen image.
