Bridget,
I use CIS and can't comment on AOL. The main thing is to get a good
on-line navigator so you can find your way around and get in and out
quickly. Kinda like guerilla communications. Both services have their
good and bad points. You can get a basic sub to CIS for about $8/month.
If you wander around in the forums, you pay extra. You can upload and
download files, send e-mail, get weather maps, etc., etc. There are
something like 3500 forums on CIS, where you can find all kinds of useful
info and discussion groups like this one, with a strong showing by
computer vendors, users, etc.
