Why Delphi Internet Services might be annoying:

    It advertised that you can send email to 10 million people (although that was email that any internet service could hook up to).
    They only had access numbers in Boston and Kansas City.
    Their menu was complex and not easy to navigate.
    It did not offer a real graphical interface until late 1995.
    It required credit card information.

Why Delphi Internet Services might not be annoying:

    They were the first commercial service to give full internet service, including Telnet, Chat, email, Newsgroups, Games, etc. (November 1992).
    It offered Internet service more than 2 years before the other commercial dial-ups.
    It hosted computer groups and had their staff help with computer questions.
    It gave users access to their software library.
    It offered access to news wires.
    It allowed all users to host their own forum area.
    It put you right on the internet rather than going through an intranet.
