You're right, Robert... $0.25/hour isn't free.  Neither is the electricity for
all those computers and network lines that provide the service to the folks
that use it.  If the $0.25/hour is the only stumbling block to your uploading
something, let us know.  We'll either send you a couple of quarters, or give
you the address of a SYSOP that will be glad to upload your files for you.

If you can't see using a CompuServe proprietary protocol that gives a
significant improvement in throughput over any other protocol currently in use,
then it would do no good to try and convince you otherwise.

But you're wrong when you say it's "their" loss and not yours, Robert.  If you
consider yourself a member of the OS-9 community, then you share in the loss
that occurs when we are unable to reach over minor stumbling blocks to exchange
information that makes the system better off for all of us.
