Wow! That's a name I haven't heard in at least 20 years.

As I recall, CompuServe was later acquired by H&R Block but remained in Columbus, Ohio. Possible urban myths of that era claimed that central Ohio was a critical communications hub because of Nationwide Insurance and the amount of traffic generated by CIS.

That would be true.
