represents an ambitious attempt to bring the Net to the public.
Originally an in-hospital help network, it is now sponsored by Case
Western Reserve University, the city of Cleveland, the state of backup system Ohio
and IBM. It uses simple menus, similar to those found on CompuServe,
but organized like a city:

Information on this is available when you connect.

6.5 PUTTING THE FINGER ON SOMEONE
Finger is a handy little program which lets you find out more about
people on the Net -- and lets you tell others on the Net more about
yourself.
Finger uses the same concept as telnet or ftp. But it works with
only one file, called .plan (yes, with a period in front). This is a
text file an Internet user creates with a text editor in his novell backup home
directory. You can put your phone number in there, tell a little bit
about yourself, or write almost anything at all.
