   Prodigy Naturists
     Prodigy located the nudist/naturist sections under the HOBBIES
     Bulletin Board under the topic heading: OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES.
     It is appropriate to prefix the subject line of postings with "NUDE".

   On Compuserve, at the prompt type GO OUTDOOR.  Section 17, Naturists
     Lifestyles is the section to look for.

     Page 1065 has several topics of interest to naturist/nudists:
        Category 2 - California Lifestyles and Attitudes
           Topic 6 - Beaches and Tanning
        Category 11 - The Laid Back Enquirer
           Topic 3 - What do you do nude?
        Category 16 - Sports, Health & Adventure in California!
           Topic 5 - To TAN or not to TAN?
           Topic 6 - Nude beaches, hot springs, & resorts


   On Genie, the Public Forum, Page 545, in Category 9, Topic 12 is an on-going
     discussion of nude recreation/lifestyle.  The American West Round-Table,
     Page 1065, CATegory 44, all topics include some discussion of naturism.
     Covers all the Western States and has a sizable library of files talking
     about nude beaches, how to get to them, and how to behave.
 
     Discussion of nudity laws in Florida in USA-EAST Round-Table on page 1470;
     has 5 naturist topics in CATegory 8.
 
     There are also a few naturist topics on the Travel Round-Table on page 
     560, in CATegory 28.
 
   On America-Online, in the Lifestyles & Interests Department there is
     "The Exchange" which includes an "Other Special Interests" forum with two
     folders called "Nudist & Naturist" and "Nudism".  Not a lot of activity.

   National Videotex Network (NVN) has a Nudist area on-line.
     NVN costs $5.95 per month for basic service, non-prime time hours
     (6pm-8am weekdays). For information or to sign up call: 1-800-336-9096.
     Then when on-line type "GO OUTDOORS" to get to "The Great Outdoors"
     Forum.  The forum has a message area and a live chat area for 
     nudists/naturists. Rather active since the influx of Prodigy deserters.
