Prodigy

Prodigy

In computing, online (originally, viewdata) service launched in 1984 by a partnership of IBM and leading US retailer Sears Roebuck; bought in 1996 by the global communications company International Wireless, which relaunched it as an Internet service. In 2001 Prodigy was bought by SBC Communications, a US telecommunications operator, and was the preferred Internet Service Provider (ISP) for SBC's dial-up and broadband customers.

Even though Prodigy has been lavishly funded, throughout its history it has lagged behind CompuServe and America Online (AOL). By 1996, it had 1.4 million subscribers, but had never marketed itself outside North America.

That is true; I was vexed when I spoke, for I thought an easier and happier day was dawning for my prodigy and pearl.
Rebecca Of Sunnybrook Farm by Wiggin, Kate Douglas View in context
Not the wondrous cistern in the whale's huge head; not the prodigy of his unhinged lower jaw; not the miracle of his symmetrical tail; none of these would so surprise you, as half a glimpse of that unaccountable cone, -- longer than a Kentuckian is tall, nigh a foot in diameter at the base, and jet-black as Yojo, the ebony idol of Queequeg.
Moby Dick LXVIII-CXXXIV by Melville, Herman View in context
Verily, a prodigy is this power of praising and blaming.
Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book For All And None by Nietzsche, Friedrich View in context
