Hi Bob: RE>" AOL is guilty, in broad terms, of the best
marketing and packaging in American business."
Very true, and that alone could cause her to hang on for some time,
but any one who really gets into the net "knows" how sorry AOL is
it's no sence for me to go on about it, I have 2 accounts, with local providers, ( as I'm hooked on this thing ) some days
my computer is on the net around the clock. AOL users have never
seen anything like fast access..they don't know what it is, <G>
not only that when I have stuff to download, or info to retrive
I have as many as 8 programs in auto mode running at the same
time and grabing stock up dates all day long..
AOL is dead, she might still be kicking, sort of like a chicken
does with its head cut off..this time next year her hype will
look ludicrous.
She has one thing that could salvage her, that is to be a data
bank , like Hoovers, or Lombard..she should get out of the dial up
end, and sell accounts right over the net..but as a dial in
service she is a dead dead dead chicken she might kick and run
for a while but she is going to be eaten, unless she lays some golden
egges, and I don't see that happenig.
