<<For yuppies/professionals/businesses having an AOL email address would be like driving a Gremlin and wearing a "kick me, I'm stupid" sign on their back. It's just so low-rent.>> That proves my point about machismo and not common sense being the reason for the disdain on these threads (where we are all very computer literate) for AOL. <<As for losing content being beneficial to AOL, that's so counterintuitive to its raison d'etre it boggles.>> Most net gurus agree that he who controls the gateway to the internet will be the big winner. AOL has the brand name and the right strategy to become THE ISP for the newly computer literate all across the world. Their new pricing is really revolutionary, IMHO. They are not losing all content, and much of the stuff you get on AOL for free, you have to pay for on the net. ANY content is better than the other ISP's. Losing some of it will decrease costs.
