Rocketman, Your AOL 5 question is a good one. Let me add this from personal experience: I recently signed up for an ISDN line. It is through Bell Atlantic. Currently AOL doesn't offer ISDN or DSL where I live. (In a fairly rural area). My alternative, if I want to keep my AOL account is to go through a local ISP and pay the additional $9.95 to AOL for content. The total will be around $50 dollars. The point I'm struggling to get at is-- When AOL rolls out AOL 5 and offers it in my area I will drop the local ISP(in lieu of cheaper price from AOL) and re-join AOL's full service. What that means is that...1)I will remain an AOL eyeball 2)at some future time I will be adding to their revenue base. 3) I would guess that there a # of people similar to me that do not live in large urban areas that will click on AOL 5's "Do you want faster speed?" button and do the same thing I will do.
