Was the first digit of your CI$ id a 7 or a 1?
I actually got my account at Radio Shack when I bought my TRS Model III.
And again, I opted for the WHOPPING 1200 baud external modem. Cost me an extra C note, but what the heck, it was WAY faster than the standard 300 baud!
WHOA! I had forgotten about LINKING! I also linked my AMEX Travel. And yes, I used it quite a few times calling them with the PNR and having the ticket FedEx'd to me. At the time, STATE-OF-THE-ART!
My CI$ ID started with EITHER a 7 or a 1. I thought I knew, but now I'm not SURE! AGH! The problem is, the FIRST set of numbers before the comma started with either a 7 or a 1, and the 2nd set of numbers ALSO started with a 7 or a 1. I THINK my CI$ was 7xxxx,1xxx but I MAY have that in REVERSE. It's simply been too long. Not just a lot of water under the bridge, but a whole ocean under it since then.
I also remember I was one of the first ONLINE TRADERS with Compuserve back then. A company called "MAX ULE" (if memory serves) was featured in a Compuserve newsletter and I opened an account. Sheesh. Compared to today, so archaic. But that's what it was then. Max is probably still around but not scrolling tickers at 1200 baud...
