Some guys over at the 68KMLA (www.literatureclassics.com/68mla) were
working on an eWorld clone, last time I heard.

Cyberdog was cool...by the way :)

I vaguely remember eWorld and used it only for few weeks when I got a
kind of limited-free account together with a Performa.
I only remember it was so different from what you could find on the web
those days... easy access, colorful pages, lot of stuff :-)

A pity it died soon after I discovered it and now I can’t even rememeber
well how it was :-(

A propos anyone remembers Cyberdog?
