Actually, this is not a surprise. Prodigy has been simply awful in terms of
its support for Mac users, a group that is over-represented among NPPA
members (at least if the NPPA members in my shop are any indication) 
 Each time, we bring this to Prodigy's attention, they grumble that Mac users
comprise only 5 percent of their users (not a real mystery why that is) yet
assure us that the next version of Prodigy for the Mac will include the
Internet functionality that Windows users now enjoy. But they clearly have
devoted most of their programming resources to the late, great P2 and the
soon-to-be P-New for Windows.
