American People/Link

It's been almost two years now since American People/Link went online with its combination of news, entertainment, conversation, electronic mail, CB simulation, and games. Among its variety of online clubs, the Commodore Club continues to be one of the most popular areas of use.

People/Link users are called Plinkers, and the emphasis is on interaction among members, ease of use, and low cost. Users receive regular printed information updates called LinkLetters. There is a Help system for beginners, as well as Advanced Mode, which lets more experienced members move around more quickly.
