Frank, The Web is content. If it didn't have any content, you wouldn't be posting in SI. I acknowlege that AOL has stuff conveniently organized and certain features not found on the Web, but I have bookmarks to all the sites that I care to visit. I have access to all the information I want for free on the Web (except for monthly access charges to an ISP) with no busy signals. I actually like the AOL product. I just don't think they will make much money from subscriptions and advertising. I also doubt that they will make money from "internet commerce." See the Cybercash thread for a discussion of the failure of the "internet commerce" business model. Happy trading. JW
