The January issue of WordPerfect for Windows
Magazine presented an overview of online services,
and guess who came out on top! Here, by gracious
permission of Allen Biehl, Editor of WordPerfect
for Windows Magazine, is what they had to say
about GEnie and the WordPerfect (WP) RoundTable:
  
 "The service is well-organized, offering dozens
 of forums called RoundTables. We quickly found a
 WP RoundTable and were pleasantly surprised by
 the large amount of information and files
 available. We sampled news releases, technical
 support, various drivers, graphics and ongoing
 conversations. Besides the WP forum, we found
 the diversity of RoundTables exciting. Among the
 various subjects and activities are photography,
 military, genealogy, science fiction and the
 White House. Some interesting interactive games
 are also available.
  
 "GEnie has huge amounts of WP data, but its
 services go beyond that. With its great rates, a
 friendly interface (especially with the help of
 Windows-based Aladdin [LiveWire Ed. Note: It
 isn't Aladdin but GEnie's Window-based GUI will
 be available soon.]) and gigabytes of
 professional, educational and entertainment
 areas, GEnie also receives our Product
 Performance Award. We eagerly anticipate the
 full Windows interface... and are confident that
 it will follow the quality tradition already
 established."

GEnie salutes WordPerfect Corporation for their
superlative reputation in the personal computing
industry, and congratulates WordPerfect RoundTable
sysops Dave Thomas (WP.DAVE) and Ted McKosky
(WP.TED), who are not affiliated with that
company, for their outstanding job online. They
obviously had a lot to do with GEnie garnering
this Product Performance Award from WordPerfect
for Windows Magazine.
  
If you use WordPerfect products or have questions
about them, the WordPerfect RoundTable stands
ready, willing, and exceedingly well-equipped to
help you. Simpy type the keyword WP or M521 to
reach it from any GEnie prompt, or join their
weekly Real-Time Conference on Thursdays at 9:30
PM Eastern time. You'll be glad you did!
  
Good News From PC Aladdin
  
As lots of smart GEnie members can attest, using
PC Aladdin is a great way to enhance the time (and
money) you spend online. Until recently, however,
PC Aladdin worked its magic only on systems with
modems at standard IRQ settings.
  
That's no longer the case! All IBM-compatible
owners can now take advantage of PC Aladdin's
time-saving automation features. If your modem
requires IRQ 5 (or any other non-standard setting)
download the simple-to-use shareware utility
ALAIRQ10.EXE from the PC Aladdin Software Library.
Support (if you need it) is provided by the author
in Category 12, Topic 28 on the Bulletin Board on
GEnie Page 110. Type the keyword PCALADDIN or M110
to move there from any GEnie prompt.
