did you folks see this story?



Think there is any truth to this one?  It's a great week for rumours...

            WILL COMPUSERVE BE BOUGHT BY BERTELSMANN?

The German media conglomerate Bertelsmann A.G. is refusing to confirm or
deny rumors that it will join with "America Online" to acquire rival online
service "CompuServe," which has lost money and subscribers in the past
year, but which is still a significant competitor in the commercial Internet
sector.  

The Bertelsmann Group also owns B.M.G. (RCA) Records in America.
