The Tribune folks laughed and said, "Howard Cosellwon't light his cigar for you for less than $10,000. " The Prodigyfolks said yes without blinking, thanks to their rich mommy anddaddy. Thus a division to sell to online facilities was created. Not long when I announced ClariNet, Geoff Goodfellow, who hadbeen on the cyber web and USENET for a very long time, announcedplans for an alternative USENET based enterprise named "In Moderation Network. "IMN planned to sell a sequence of moderated USENET groups as a carrier,where their moderators would make existing chat groups moremanageable. While IMN never fully got off the floor, Geofflater had a bit more success though again too early with hisRadioMail product, which provided cyber web E mail to handhelddevices over pager networks. My Waterloo classmates at RIM wouldlater make a grand fortune doing just this when the time wasright and then lose a lot of it missing the iPhone.
