Hi Mark: RE>How many people will leave AOL because they will create their own home page w/ a different web address? I certainly wouldn't house my home page on AOL's slow servers and would want my email tied to my home page location. Wouldn't you?<< you mean like republic.net ------------------------- I enjoy and agree with a lot of what you say..but I do not see any one who would buy AOL out, msn could grap the subcribers if they really wanted them..AOl is being giving some room to run just so the other can see if there is any profit in what she is doing.. and there isn't.. MSFT is subject to have a few problems of its' own if they don't put more focas on their main operating system and keep trying to be all things to all people..that has killed a lot of software companies..she had a thing going with dos and then windows with regular upgrades..she is begining to lose that upgrade momentum, and some garage shop is going to come out with a fast GUI that runs on an intel..and MSFT could find herself in deep poop.. already one you can get for free..but it's too unix like to be a big hit with the average person.. There is an exception, "GTE" they took over BBN..they just may be dumb enough to think AOL is worth something. IN that case I'l lose all my long term puts..hmmmm Jim
