Was that REALLY the cost for CompuServe? Yikes!

In theearly 1980s, in the US, yep. You could download a copy of the 20c print edition of the NYT which would take maybe 5 hours at $5 an hour.

By the time I was using it in the UK in the mid 1990s it was about £10 a month with phone call charges on top.
