Lee, I don't like AOL as an investment--probably puts me in the minority here. Their internet service has good and bad points. I have experienced some problems which were mostly due to me being internet illiterate. I am considering AT&T as a strong rival to AOL. Not yet----but they are working on it. Once they have the cable lines available sometime this spring you can bet a big cable internet push is going to take place. Why are we hearing about Microsoft and AT&T talks taking place? MSFT knows how strong AT&T's internet business is going to be, and are trying to do some sort of deals with them. This is my clue to AT&T's potential in the internet business (don't know much about their long distance telephone biz and don't really care) BTW--the effects of the DOJ case on MSFT----As long as they don't force MSFT to charge lower prices for Windows, any outcome is OK for me. Worst case is a short term dip. The decision is still far away (probably summer). MSFT wraps up its case in March according to the company.
