Timesharing Service Rate Inquiry.

[Don Steiny]

***
	
	Some associated of mine are trying to start a timesharing
service in Santa Clara.   Besides computer resources, they will
rent office space.   I look at my computer resource use and I
am (what we called in college) a "disk use criminal."  I am 
also a CPU uses criminal and am logged into one computer or
another most of my waking hours.   Once when a company I
was doing work for rented timesharing service and I used 
$5400.00 in two days!!    With bills like that the company
could buy a couple of 11/780's per year!  Why use timesharing
services?

	I am wondering, are there timesharing services on the net?
How much do you charge?   Are there permenent customers, or do
people rent time for a short period to do development on a 
specific computer?    I think that perhaps a tiered 
rate structure would be appropriate.   Has anyone had experience
with this?  

	Please reply by mail.  Any comments would be appreciated.
