Eric - Again, I am focusing on how people decide which service to use. Yahoo has free auctions - EBAY has 40 times more auction business. SQL Server costs a fraction of Oracle, and are making progress, yet Oracle holds their own in the server database market. Why does AOL have 17 million members, and MSN 2 million, now? Aren't there lots of services with cheaper prices than AOL? What is AOLs edge? And we've all known that AOL ultimately must become a giant e-commerce player to justify their valuation. I just dropped AOL - to get DSL which they didn't offer; I've paying $40/month, now. The reason I had AOL in the 1st place was I wanted a larger service than my local ISP, so that I wouldn't have to change e-mail addresses again. ('Nother great idea bites the dust.) All I'm saying, and all I said in my initial post is, I don't think it is a slam dunk. There are many other factors. Regards, Tom
