Compuserve charges were exorbitant over here in AU (about USD $35/hr). I
didn't have an offline reader when I started hanging around GO GRAPHDEV
reading messages and downloading images and for the first few months I
felt like was helping fund their CEO's new Ferrari.

I got OzCis which helped a bit but even then with only a 14.4k modem I
had to be wary of what binaries I downloaded (or uploaded), which is
likely the primary reason I don't have a full archive of all the images
from the early Compuserve days.
