I am told it no longer exists. It was a humongous ISP (back in the days
when no one called them "ISP"s -- we called it a "network," but it was
simply an online service) that had roundtables/forums in the gazillions.
It was started, I think, by General Electric, which was why the name was
always spelled GEnie, with two capitalized letters.

It its heyday, it was something big, and it the greatest.

I just remembered that there is a Wikipedia entry for it. It's at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GEnie . In fact, I added a few sentences to
the entry, about the personal feelings of the people during the mass
exodus when the changed the fee structure. I left at that time as well.
But while it lasted, it was very good.
