GIF News had sort of the same “look and feel” of the old online services Quantumlink and Prodigy.

I had forgotten all about GIF News. Thank you for writing about it. Certainly brings back some memories.

This may not have been started in a vacuum, the PC Life diskmag preceeded it by two years and was mostly the same thing except 1. limited to CGA for compatibility and 2. professional (ie. professional writing, graphics, and coverage).

Of course, being professional, it was a monthly subscription. But I have a few issues (how I wish I could collect them all!) and the CGA graphics are the very best I’ve ever seen in my life.
