Answer» I want to contact a PERSON, and the only contact information I have is his CompuServe user ID from the EARLY 1990s. I am not familiar with CompuServe (I am using Bigpond Australia) and do not know how to contact people with their user ID. Could anyone please help me?"user ID" for what? Email? Instant messaging? What? By the way, I'd say the odds of a person having the same user account they had in the early 1990s is slim. Slim, but not impossible. (Not that I'd ever bet against the world's smartest SOYBEAN.) You might try the user name as an email address: [email protected]I used to use Compuserve as my ISP back in early '90s (dial-up), but the problem with [email protected] is that, as soon you MOVE to new ISP (Compuserve doesn't exist anymore), you email address changes, and I see little chance anyone would keep old email address, which you can't even use, since ISP doesn't exist anymore.Soybean, I meant the number that follows this pattern: 7xxxx,xxxx Quote from: jde78439 on May 14, 2008, 11:22:54 PM Soybean, I meant the number that follows this pattern: 7xxxx,xxxx OK, that looks familiar, since I was a CompuServe customer for some years, up to about Jan 2002.

OK, that looks familiar, since I was a CompuServe customer for some years, up to about Jan 2002. I believe most CompuServe users used some other username; it may have been tied to that user ID in CompuServe's user database.

I believe they still exist, but they've had to take a back seat to the Netscape name. See http://webcenters.netscape.compuserve.com/menu/default.jspNevermind.
