Paul--I've been quite happy with AOL. Here are some features you may have overlooked that might have a bearing on your decision to leave. AOL 3.0 is compatible with Netscape 3.0 (as well as Internet Explorer). It is also compatible with the 32 bit versions as well if you're using Win95. To browse the web, I connect to AOL (at 38.4 kbps)select the internet channel, minimize AOL and launch Netscape 3.0 or MS Explorer. I've been extremely pleased with this capability. As for Motley Fool content on the web, one of the nicest features of the Fool is its message boards which has information that doesn't get posted on SI or on the message board summaries that Motley Fool publishes. Access to the boards is available only via AOL and is something I would miss if I left. Another feature I like is the free access to First Call earnings estimates and Morningstar reports. Also, based on an 11/8/96 analyst's report, AOL has been in the process of building up its communications infrastructure in anticipation of demand.

Regards,
Eric
