Exclamation TAPCIS to die on June 30

That is, CompuServe Classic will be discontinued, its old servers shut down, dial-up access will be no more, OurWorld and other Classic services will cease, and Classic e-mail accounts will be shifted to POP3 and IMAP. The word went out to Classic subscribers in an e-mail dated April 15 - income tax day. How many remember that CompuServe originated on the computers of H & R Block?

I'm still using TAPCIS for e-mail, and keep an old laptop running Windows 98 to support it. There's still nothing better for saving e-mail in text files. For me, it's been worth it to keep on paying the monthly bill. (That will now stop, as the new e-mail service will be free.) But time has finally run out.
