The biggest potential group of new users is college graduates. But most of them will find access thru work. On the high school front, most students already have access thru school. They may have AOL at home as a hobby if they are computer savvy. And when they graduate, they go to college and get free access there. The non-college bounded half most likely are not computer savvy and don't care about the Internet, or again, find access thru work. The end result is slower subscriber growth.

College student here!!!! You couldn't pay me to use AOL...It is way too frustrating, slow, and in general a dog......Everyone I know feels the same way and you aren't talking to a computer geek.....

Content will find the net.....AOL is nothing more than a fad....they offerred a service that didn't exist when the net began..They gave content that was a pain in the butt to find.....Now there are search engines galore, tons of specific info 9content) on the net and ISP's all over the place charging $19.95 for GOOD internet access....no busy signals.......

I want to short but this train has me a bit scared....moving 4 points on a nothing day???......

My price target....... 0 .....if they go belly up or 20 if they get bought out by someone latter on.....
