I was also an early investor in AOL. Got in when they were being trashed for insufficient access when the stock was 22. Unfortunately, I listened to the shorties and profit takers when it was 70 and got out. The rest is history. Today it's about 1000. I don't really want to know exactly. Anyway, when AOL was 22, nobody posted anything about ad revenue. Their business model was evolving so fast that I'm not sure even Steve Case realized that it would totally change in so many ways. To your point --- I am not so sure that MCOM won't become an all in one ISP, provider, portal. It's a guess and really doesn't matter tomorrow (unless of course someone speculates or announces in print and the inevitable panic buying sets in.) The key here is that the technology has rave reviews. I would have been so happy with AOL and never sold if I had even half of the percentage of testimonials from users that MCOM has here. Check out the aol posts from way back then. IT was tough being an aol stock holder. Although I made good money, I lost out on the big huge moves to follow.
